The U.S. also bans corporate donations to political parties and candidates. https://www.idea.int/data-tools/region-view/26/55 https://www.idea.int/data-tools/region-view/26/55 Corporate political influence in the U.S. depends primarily on the popularity of the products, jobs, and investment returns they produce.
