TL;DR

Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell warned Republican senators not to support a bill introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley that aims to limit corporate money in campaigns, reminding them that many of them owe their seats to the powerful super PAC he controls. McConnell cautioned that they could face backlash from the "center-right" if they backed Hawley's bill, and even mentioned Hawley himself as a beneficiary of the Senate Leadership Fund. Hawley's bill, the Ending Corporate Influence on Elections Act, seeks to reverse the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision and restrict publicly traded corporations from making independent expenditures and political advertisements.
