OK, something I don't understand about US election campaigns. I see there is a limit of $3300 for any individual donation to a candidate in a federal campaign. Is this correct? Is it enforced? Seems donations are far bigger than this, so how do big donors get around this? #PresidentialElectionof2024 #uspolitics #uselection2024
