Reporting on “Corporations still donating to traitors in Congress” overblown, contributions down 60% in 2021 vs 2019: analysis

Last month’s headlines like The Hill’s “GOP election objectors rake in corporate cash” and Fortune’s “Almost a year after the Capitol insurrection, corporations have quietly ramped up donations to GOP election objectors” are grossly misrepresenting how much House GOP fundraising from business has recovered since the exodus in the wake of the Capitol riot, as a new analysis from Popular.info finds that donations to the 2020 election objectors in the House from the private sector were down by almost two thirds in 2021 compared to 2019, the previous off year.

Popular Info stuck to the House only, as the staggered six year Senate terms and the fact that only a relative handful objected to certifying the 2020 election would make a clear comparison too difficult. The then-freshman House members were also excluded. But of the 94 returning GOP House members who objected, Popular Info found they raked in $27,205,290 from corporate PACs from January 3rd to November 30th 2019, a number that declined to $11,052,925 raised from January 3rd to November 30th 2021. It should be zero, but losing 60% is not nothing either.
