Ahold Delhaize USA, via its Political Action Committee (PAC), donated $20,500 to political campaigns of election deniers. This financial contribution supports candidates who have explicitly challenged the legitimacy of the 2020 election, thereby endorsing anti-democratic behaviors and contributing to an environment that fosters authoritarian practices. Such actions signal corporate complicity in political maneuvering that undermines democratic accountability.
