Incredibly cool use of data science to code open ended responses asking what a voter’s ideal party would focus on - non-ideological appeals to affordability and the economy outnumbered both left and right wing positions substantially

We spent a year investigating billionaires for The Washington Post. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/inter…
