“Most of them contribute to both sides, they have political action committees, that’s fine, it’s legal, it’s appropriate, I support that,” he said. “I’m talking about taking a position on a highly incendiary issue … and punishing a community or a state because you don’t like a particular law that passed. I just think it’s stupid.”
The road ahead
Ever since the 2020 election, Republicans have been coveting the coalition Trump assembled. It apparently doesn’t matter that the coalition was not enough to win the White House, hold the Senate or take the House — Republicans believe the former president built a successful populist movement. And we know that what happens in elections matters less than what politicians think happened in an election because the latter drives future behavior.
Right now, Republicans are feeling emboldened by their various responses to corporations trying to align broader corporate values with their political activity.
Banks recommended specific language to donors. “[Our] digital fundraising efforts should be paired with an explicit message: ‘I’m asking for a small donation, so I can continue to represent your values, not the values of liberal multinational corporations who are determined to replace conservatives like me.’”
“Every Republican Member in a competitive district should know exactly how much corporate cash their opponent received in 2020, and they should relay those numbers to their constituents,” Banks added. “The NRCC should arm Members with that information and commission advertisements that contrast Republican challengers with corporate-backed Democrat incumbents.”
