Sanders, Lee Introduce Bill to Limit Super PAC Donations

Bernie Sanders, along with Representative Barbara Lee, introduced the 'Abolish Super PACs Act' to limit the influence of wealthy donors in American politics. Sanders criticized the current political system as 'broken' and 'corrupt', arguing that it favors the billionaire class. He cited examples like Elon Musk's $280 million spending to elect Donald Trump and the defeat of Congressman Thomas Massie due to massive super PAC contributions. Sanders attributed this to the 2008 Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which allowed unlimited corporate and individual spending in elections. The proposed legislation aims to limit individual super PAC contributions to $5,000, preventing billionaires from pouring vast amounts of money into political action committees.
