Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) regulates how much money individuals can donate to political campaigns, parties, and political action committees (PACs) in the United States. However, there is no overall limit on the total amount an individual can give to all candidates, parties, and PACs combined, as long as they adhere to the individual limits for each. This was further impacted by the 2014 Supreme Court decision in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, which struck down the aggregate limits on how much one individual could donate to all federal candidates, parties, and PACs combined. Therefore, while there are limits to how much can be given to each candidate ($2,900 per election in 2021-2022), party committee, or PAC, there is technically no cap on the total amount an individual can donate across all contributions, making the correct answer an unlimited amount.
