STAT+: Some drug makers quietly resumed donations to lawmakers who denied Biden’s election victory
Four major drug makers each donated tens of thousands of dollars last year to Republican members of Congress who voted against certifying President Biden’s election, despite pledges to withhold or pause such contributions, a new analysis found.
During the second half of 2021, Eli Lilly (LLY), Pfizer (PFE), and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) gave $32,500, $49,500, and $22,500, respectively, to members of the so-called “Sedition Caucus,” after claiming they would suspend contributions to members of Congress who voted against certifying the election, according to Accountable.US, a government watchdog that analyzed political contributions.
