Prominent Democrats constantly bemoan “dark money” in campaigns, yet their party raked in more of the shaky donations and spent more of it than the Republican Party.
Late last month, Bloomberg reported that pro-Biden groups received $145 million from dark money donors, while groups aligned with former President Donald Trump received just $28.4 million. While campaigning, however, Biden said he would make campaign finance reform a top priority of his administration and focus on it early on in his presidency. As Susan Crabtree reported at RealClearPolitics, the “priority” took a backseat to COVID relief and impeaching his predecessor.
