These dramatic changes in campaign finance have allowed a small number of ultra-wealthy contributors to reshape American democracy and all three branches of government.Using data from the 2024 election cycle, this book explores the impact of the super PAC, which has allowed megadonors unprecedented capacity to shape political outcomes through targeted campaigning.
