WELL, well, WELL;
The long-term trend of the pharmaceutical industry largely donating to the US Republican Party has been reversed in the lead up to the 2020 election.
This is according to a new report from the Center for Responsive Politics which shows that 51% of donations in 2020 from the pharmaceutical industry were given to the Democratic Party.
In terms of Presidential campaigns, Big Pharma has contributed $975,685 to the Biden-Harris campaign, while they have only given $360,548 to President Trump’s campaign.
In terms of a breakdown by company, Pfizer has given the most and contributed $1,128,933 in donations to Democratic causes between 2019 and 2020, while giving $857,781 in donations to Republicans. AbbVie has also given more money to Democrats, pledging $652,941 compared with $555,567 to the GOP.
AstraZeneca was another company that favoured the Democrats, donating $301,480 while contributing $251,151 to Republicans. Some still favoured the Republicans, with Amgen giving $709,809 to the party and $567,275 to Democrats. Eli Lilly is another, donating $545,004 to Republican campaigns compared with $404,273 to Democrats.
