History

Historical Context

The 2010 Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. FEC struck down the McCain-Feingold ban on corporate and union independent expenditures, citing First Amendment speech rights. The decision opened door to billions of spending, with the FEC reporting $1.5 billion in expenditures during 2020 elections. Legacy fuels Georgia’s Senate race, where Donald Trump promotes “Trump Accounts” and Senate Leadership Fund spent $44 million on the Ossoff-Collins contest.
