[QUOTE="Lily, post: 1401736, member: 1283"] Most people put their money with those they politically support. It's obvious who has their financial interests in mind. The GOP. While political affiliations vary, recent data on campaign contributions indicates that most US billionaires and billionaire families who engage in politics [B]financially support the Republican Party (GOP)[/B] more than the Democratic Party. Key findings from analyses of political contributions: [LIST] [*][B]Overall Spending:[/B] In the 2024 election cycle, 100 billionaire families donated a combined $2.6 billion, with approximately 70% of those contributions going to Republican candidates and conservative causes. [*][B]Specific Donors:[/B] Analyses of the top individual and family donors consistently show a majority lean toward the GOP. Eight of the ten biggest billionaire-family contributors in the 2024 cycle almost exclusively backed Republicans. [*][B]Shifting Trends:[/B] While historically some individual billionaires, particularly from the tech sector or specific regions, have supported Democrats, the overall trend among the [I]wealthiest[/I] donors is a preference for the Republican Party. [*][B]Super PACs:[/B] A significant portion of these donations go to super PACs, which can accept unlimited contributions. The two GOP congressional super PACs have received three-quarters of the contributions to the four major congressional super PACs. [/LIST] Information on specific political giving can be tracked through organizations like [URL='https://www.opensecrets.org/']OpenSecrets[/URL], which compiles and analyzes data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
