Yes, it is true that top Democratic committees are bringing in millions more in dark money at this point in time compared to previous cycles. According to reports published by the Federal Election Commission (FEC), the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) have raised over $500 million in dark money contributions so far in 2020—nearly double the amount for the same period in 2018. Much of this money came from outside, 501(c)(4) organizations that are not required to identify their donors. The influx of dark money is a worrying trend and underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability in our politics.
