A wave of federal legislation led by Democratic senators seeks to ban corporate PACs, expose dark money donors, and even amend the Constitution to prohibit corporate political spending — reforms galvanized by the 2024 election cycle's record-shattering $4.5 billion in outside spending and $1.9 billion in untraceable dark money.
