    Citigroup announced the resumption of political donations after pausing them following the January 6 insurrection. Unlike JPMorgan Chase—which explicitly barred donations to lawmakers who challenged the 2020 election results—Citigroup stated it would evaluate candidates based on a set of criteria, leaving open the possibility of funding officials with authoritarian leanings.

    By resuming political donations without a strict ban on contributions to candidates who challenged democratic election outcomes, Citigroup risks indirectly supporting far‐right or authoritarian political agendas. This approach, which contrasts with JPMorgan Chase’s more explicit exclusion of such candidates, may facilitate donations to individuals whose actions undermine democratic norms.

    In response to the Capitol riot and ensuing political turmoil, Citigroup announced it would halt all Political Action Committee donations through April. The decision, which follows internal messaging from CEO Michael Corbat expressing disgust over the riots, aims to ensure the firm does not financially support candidates who undermine democratic norms. Previously, Citigroup’s PAC had raised around $740,000 for federal candidates, including a donation to Sen. Hawley.

    Citigroup's decision to pause PAC donations demonstrates a clear move to avoid endorsing political figures who may undermine the rule of law. By halting contributions—and with the CEO publicly decrying the violent riots—the bank aligns its behavior with anti-authoritarian principles, reducing its complicity in supporting potentially extremist political agendas.
