Politico: “A record number of groups are exploiting a gap in campaign finance law to flood this year’s primary elections with money — without disclosing their donors until long after the race is over.”
“More than $48 million has already been spent on House and Senate primaries this year by super PACs that did not have to reveal their donors before elections took place… That is more than double the total at this time in the 2024 cycle, and 10 times higher than in 2018.”
