Dear Commons Community,
Bloomberg News this morning has a list of fifty companies that are temporarily abandoning funding for political parties. The companies fall into three broad categories: Those going after specific Republican lawmakers who voted against the certification of the presidential election, those going after objectors in general, and those withholding all contributions for now regardless of political party or whether a lawmaker participated in the effort. Some 139 Republican representatives and eight GOP senators voted to object to at least one state’s electoral count, in support of President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results.
The list was generated by beat reporters and editors throughout Bloomberg News.
