The Walmart giant among the main funders of Biden’s Dems
Joe Biden the capitalist. The president of the United States is flirting with Walmart, a real giant in the stars and stripes that he had repeatedly criticized in the past. Now, however, in a moment of difficulty and with the midterm approaching, the financing of those who in the past, according to Biden, did not protect the middle class are fine. Il Fatto Quotidiano writes about it, explaining how the retail giant has now become a major financier of the Democratic Party.
According to data provided to Politico by Open Secrets, explains Il Fatto, “in 2016 Walmart gave $ 1.32 million to the Republicans and only $ 358,500 to the Democrats; in 2020, it funded the two campaigns equally, with $ 596,000. And the Democrats, who in the past did not accept money from the company, are now inclined to do so: even with the intervention of lobbyists, the company has found a hearing with the party and members of Congress. ” Despite the many controversies in the past about the lack of protection of minorities or other aspects of workers’ wages, Biden opens the doors to Walmart.
