When a group gives millions to a campaign that's a quid pro quo, the candidate will do what they want when elected. There's no chance Kamala will change her stance on Nov 5th because the cash will still be flowing

    Eh, that's not totally true. There's no formal contract, a politician can absolutely take the money but not give them anything. That's how they keep it from being bribery. But also, when you're talking about the really influential groups, it's seen as better to just take their money and keep quiet until you have to publicly do something.

    So there is absolutely a chance. It's not a guarantee, but it's not nothing either.
