Biden s Presidential Victory Fueled by $145M in Dark Money During 2020 Election

© press Dark money critics argue voters should know who s funding political advertisements. Democrats have repeatedly denounced anonymous campaign contributions as corrupting political force, and they are now ignoring the fact that Joe Biden benefited from a record-breaking amount of dark money donations during the election of 2020. Biden raked in around $145 million in donations from outside groups and anonymous donors, far exceeding the $28.4 million spent on behalf of Donald Trump, Bloomberg reported. It also exceeds Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney s previous record of $113 million in 2012. One of the most prominent Democratic super PACs supporting Biden, the Priorities USA Action Fund, used $26 million donated to its nonprofit arm, Priorities USA, to back the then-candidate, Bloomberg added.

Moakley US Courthouse in Boston on Jan. 20, 2012, as part of nationwide events planned to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court s Citizens United decision. Re “Money (and the lack of it) talks,” Shirley Leung’s Jan. 12 front-page commentary: Corporate campaign contributions have been blessed by the Supreme Court as free speech and justified as a legitimate expression of corporate values. But they’re fundamentally different from the small contributions we make to candidates who reflect our values and aspirations. Big money is about a different set of values and aspirations influence and control. To ignore this, as the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision did, is to give license to expensive speech in the name of free speech.
