Corporations are shutting off the political donation faucet, but it's not actually a big deal

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

We're still taking stock of the fallout from the violence at the US Capitol last week. One ripple effect has been that many corporations have announced that they're now suspending financial donations to politicians who objected to the counting of the Electoral College votes that day. That seems like a big deal. Is it? Dr. Robin Kolodny, Professor and Chair of the Department of Political Science at Temple University joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about why corporations are turning off the donations, what it means, and where PAC money from companies fits in the bigger political picture in the United States right now.
