They aren't giving away their wealth, but they are pumping it into our elections.
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the super-rich control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

Analysis Summary
Wealthy donors are substantially funding 2026 election campaigns, a pattern confirmed by campaign finance reports from NPR and Politico. This concentration of political spending matters because it can amplify the influence of donors over ordinary voters in close races. What the post doesn't mention: Democratic candidates have shown stronger small-donor enthusiasm in 2026, though Republican groups currently hold larger cash reserves for later spending — meaning the spending advantage isn't uniform across races.
