After the Jan. 6 insurrection, more than 120 corporations swiftly vowed to suspend campaign donations to Republicans who objected to certifying the 2020 election.

“In the wake of last week’s violent and unlawful attack on the U.S. Capitol, we feel it is important to reinforce that Pfizer PAC supports individuals who are guided by the principles that mirror Pfizer’s core values,” an internal email read in mid-January.

“We have made the decision that for the next six months, Pfizer PAC will not contribute to any of the 147 Members of Congress who voted against certifying the Electoral College results after the violence that we all witnessed,” the email also said. “After six months, we will review our decision and report back to you.”

The Daily Beast reviewed Federal Election Commission filings for all companies who made a pledge. And while none of the five companies who seem to have reversed themselves have given directly to official candidate committees, three of the companies—AT&T, Ford, and Pfizer—gave to leadership PACs belonging to members who challenged votes. Additionally, Cigna, Pfizer, and Wells Fargo gave to the NRSC, which, again, is controlled by Scott, who voted to overturn the election.
