David Sirota highlights the increasingly significant role billionaires play in U.S. politics, emphasizing that their financial contributions come with policy expectations and demands.
Sirota critiques the idea that wealthy donors give out of altruism, pointing out that they aim for a return on their investment and influence political outcomes.
He notes that both Trump and Kamala Harris integrated billionaire support into their campaigns, underscoring how intertwined wealth and electoral success have become.
Sirota warns that the relationship between billionaires and politicians can lead to a democratic decline, as policies often skew towards the interests of the very wealthy.
