Although campaigning against big money in politics while on the campaign trail, before he was elected, Joe Biden experienced a windfall of benefits from a record-breaking haul of "Dark money" contributions to his 2020 presidential campaign.
Biden's campaign was backed by an unprecedented $145 million in dark money donations, dwarfing the $28.4 million spent on behalf of President Trump.
The Biden campaign's willingness to accept even a dollar of dark money contributions spotlights the campaign's core hypocrisy in that Democrats - on the whole - have insisted they want to ban dark money citing its corrupting influence in politics.
Joe Biden MUST release where his $145 million in DARK MONEY came from!!!!
Future Forward PAC, a super-PAC that outlaid $104 million backing Biden, received $46.9 million from Facebook Inc. co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, $3 million from Jeff Lawson, the CEO of Twilio Inc., and $2.6 million from Eric Schmidt of Alphabet Inc, Google's parent company.
"The whole point of dark money is to avoid public disclosure while getting private credit," said Meredith McGehee, executive director of Issue One, which advocates for reducing the influence of money on politics.
In the 2020 General Election cycle, Democrats benefited from $326 million in dark money, more than twice the $148 million spent by conservative groups, this according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
