Post Politics Now ‘Dark money erodes public trust,’ Biden says as he pushes disclosure legislation

Today, President Biden called on Republicans to join Democrats this week in supporting Senate legislation that would require super PACs and so-called “dark money” groups to disclose donors who give $10,000 or more during an election cycle. Speaking at the White House, Biden said that “dark money erodes public trust” and invoked the name of the late senator John McCain (R-Ariz.), saying his “friend” supported campaign finance reforms as matter of fundamental fairness. Republicans are expected to block an attempt to pass the Disclose Act later this week.
