Democratic ‘Dark Money’ Network Flexes Muscles as Biden Weighs Supreme Court Pick
President Biden’s imminent announcement of his first Supreme Court nominee will cap off a White House decision-making process that has been supported — and pressured — by a secretive network of liberal “dark money” advocacy groups and anonymous donors who seek appointments of far-left judges.
Demand Justice, the liberal group that pressed Mr. Biden to add seats to the Supreme Court in a failed bid to change its ideological balance, is a well-funded powerhouse in Washington, advocating for judicial nominees whom conservatives view as extremists.
Dark money in campaign finance parlance refers to political spending by nonprofits, unions and trade associations that are not legally required to disclose their individual donors.
Demand Justice is tied to the shadowy Sixteen Thirty Fund, the leader in Democratic dark money that spent about $410 million in 2020 to defeat President Trump and help Democrats win control of the Senate. Its donors include billionaires George Soros and French-born eBay founder Pierre Omidyar. One anonymous donor alone contributed more than $51.7 million in 2018, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Conservatives are targeting a liberal consulting firm, Arabella Advisors, as the billion-dollar force behind the Democratic dark money network, which overtook the Republican Party in the amount of undisclosed political spending in 2020.
