Around 90% of Ohio’s college faculty who gave money to political candidates reportedly donated to Democrats, according to a Tuesday College Fix report.
Over 92% of political donors in 11 of the largest Ohio higher education institutions allegedly backed left-leaning candidates so far in the 2020 election cycle, the Fix reported, citing Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. Their contributions totaled over $939,000 with around $868,000 going straight to federal candidates, according to the report.
Around $168,000 was reportedly donated to presidential candidates with 17% going to President Donald Trump’s campaign, Fox News reported.
