A billionaire who handed the Biden-Harris campaign $10 million and is pushing his friends to do the same has made a "brazen" demand of Kamala Harris, MSNBC reported.

And columnist Helaine Olen wrote it's put the “legalized corruption” of campaign financing on full display.

Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn, told CNN that Lina Khan, appointed by Biden as head of the Federal Trade Commission, is “waging war on American business” and Harris should replace her if she becomes president.

“And the real issue is that the legalized corruption that is the U.S. campaign financing system is hardly a way to run an effective and democratic government. Until that changes, nothing else will.”


In other words repeal that Citizens United John Roberts ruling...............and have public funded elections and have campaigns that are only 3 months long for starters
