Axios: “Donations to the Republican Attorneys General Association dipped considerably in the months following the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol, records show. Large companies that gave in the past – such as Amazon, Walmart, Visa, Capital One, Johnson & Johnson and CocaCola – didn’t donate to RAGA in the first six months of this year. Another prior donor, Facebook, said it paused its political giving program altogether. State attorneys general played an outsized role in advancing conspiracy theories about 2020 voter fraud, and RAGA’s nonprofit arm did a robocall urging ‘patriots’ to come to Washington and protest the 2020 election results. The fallout could handicap Republican efforts this cycle to capture key state-level law enforcement posts.”

“Segments of corporate America have distanced themselves from groups that pushed efforts to overturn the legitimate 2020 election results. RAGA’s Rule of Law Defense Fund was listed as an organizer of the ‘March to Save America’ rally on the National Mall on Jan. 6. ‘We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections,’ the group said in a robocall promoting the rally. Republican state AGs were also central to court efforts to overturn President Biden’s victories in key states. This year, they’ve pursued legal challenges to key Biden agenda items. In April, RAGA’s then-chairman, Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, resigned from the group, citing deep differences of opinion about Jan. 6 and the robocall. By the numbers: RAGA raised about $6.7 million in the first half of 2021. That’s down from $8.5 million during the same period in 2019 and also less than the group raised in the first half of 2017.”
