Joe Biden Rode Record-Breaking ‘Dark Money’ Donations Into The White House
Many Democrats have called for an end to dark money donations as it is difficult for the public to discover where the donations are coming from.
President Joe Biden rode a record-breaking $145 million in “dark money” donations into the White House, Bloomberg News reported Saturday.
“Dark money” is donations from anonymous donors to outside groups backing a given candidate. Biden’s $145 million is the all-time record for a candidate challenging an incumbent president, according to Bloomberg. Former President Donald Trump received $28 million from such donations.
