House and Senate Democrats introduce bills to ban foreign-influenced corporate spending

The Get Foreign Money Out of United States Elections Act prohibits corporate election spending by companies with significant foreign owners. The Senate version of the bill targets companies where a single foreign entity owns 1% or more of the equity. This legislation aims to close loopholes that allow foreign interests to influence voters through domestic companies. House Republicans also introduced the Stopping Foreign Influence in Elections Act to penalize nonprofits that funnel foreign funds. This bill would revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations acting as intermediaries for foreign citizens. Separately, House Democrats introduced the AI Transparency in Elections Act of 2026 to require disclosure of AI-generated content.
