'Dark money' floods US midterm elections: five groups spent more than $1 billion
An AFP analysis of federal data shows that five 'dark money'-funded super PACs poured more than $1 billion into the US midterm election campaign — nearly a third of all outside spending this cycle. About two-thirds of the sum went to benefit the Republican Party, thanks in part to Elon Musk, who contributed nearly $450 million. Democrats, meanwhile, lead in direct donations to candidates.
