There's a new wedge issue playing out in Senate Dem primaries

Democratic Senate primary candidates across multiple states are pledging to reject corporate PAC money as a campaign issue, with Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton in Illinois, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota, and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and former public health official Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan among those making such commitments. However, more than 99 percent of corporate PAC funds go to sitting senators or representatives, making these pledges largely symbolic for non-incumbent candidates, according to a POLITICO analysis of Federal Election Commission data. The debate has created heated primary attacks, with Stratton facing criticism for receiving $11.8 million from a super PAC linked to Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker despite rejecting corporate PAC money, while Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi has benefited from nearly $10 million in spending by cryptocurrency-backed Fairshake. Corporate PACs face strict $5,000 per cycle donation limits that haven't changed in decades, while far larger amounts now flow through super PACs that candidates don't have to reject.
