Here are the companies suspending political contributions following the Capitol riots

A growing list of companies are cutting off donations to politicians who opposed the Electoral College results, targeting the 147 Republican members of the House and the Senate who voted against affirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Republican lawmakers attempted to challenge the results of Arizona and Pennsylvania, two swing states Biden won, during and after a violent and deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob.

In light of those events, some companies are temporarily suspending any political action committee (PAC) donations to all lawmakers as they assess their policies.
