Political donations from some of the largest U.S. companies, particularly in the food and beverage sector, have significantly decreased in the 2024 election cycle. Contributions from these corporations have dropped from $8.2 million in the previous cycle to $4.5 million. This trend reflects a broader shift in corporate political engagement, with some companies reassessing their involvement in campaign financing. Meanwhile, local donors and manufacturers are still playing a significant role in political contributions, especially in key battleground states like Michigan, where electric vehicle policies have become a divisive issue.
