As Democrats dream of taking back Congress with a slew of fresh faces challenging Republicans across the country, the Koch network, run by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, plans to invest close to $400 million to protect fragile GOP majorities in the House and Senate, according to CNN. That’s 60 percent more than their bundle of big donors spent in 2016, and oddly enough, 60 percent is also what Social gives the Koch brothers in terms of negative sentiment. Their huge donations have spurred online accusations of influence-buying or downright bribery. But according to Tim Phillips, president of Koch-controlled Americans for Prosperity, the brothers are doing their best to combat Democrat demagoguery. “The left is energized,” Phillips said. “There’s no question about that. And it’s prudent for folks to understand that and acknowledge that.” –Hugo Guzman
