"Anonymous Donations and Fundraising Shake Up 2024 Presidential Race"
A $64 million anonymous donation to the Impetus Fund, which ultimately supported Joe Biden's 2020 presidential campaign, highlights the growing influence of "dark money" in U.S. elections. Despite efforts to uncover the donor's identity, the source remains unknown, illustrating the opaque nature of current campaign finance systems. Critics argue that such secrecy undermines transparency and public trust, while both Democratic and Republican campaigns continue to benefit from these undisclosed funds. As the 2024 election approaches, the role of dark money is expected to be even more significant.
