hillary vaughn live on capitol hill with the story. hillary. >> reporter: hi, liz.into our elections can be funneled anonymously, so house republicans want to make sure that foreigners are not influencing our elections here in the u.s. in 2024. so they have a new bill that would limit or prevent any foreign money from being funneled through a nonprofit and then going to a party or candidate to give them an advantage in an election. democrats in the past have made it clear that they think so-called dark money is a dirty word, but they'val in the past publicly disavowed donations from corporations and billionaires that use nonprofits to dump millions into campaigns completely anonymously. but in 2020 democrats were guilty of using this loophole to influence elections. according to "the new york times," a 15 of the most politically active nonprofits that benefit the left spent more than $1.5 billion in 2020 compared to $900 millioning spent by the top 15 is nonprofits that spent money on republican causes. president biden also took up dark money donations in 2020 way m
