Where do campaigns get all their money, and where does it go? In this episode of Crash Course Big Questions on U.S. Government, we’ll dig into the limits of campaign financing and the rising influence of super PACs, dark money, and independent spending. We’ll also look at why special interest groups, corporations, and individual voters donate to campaigns, and what that money is actually used for.
