... or from those aligned with Russia? Which ones have received the benefit of ads paid for by orgs that are affiliated with Russia, or that have known ties to Russia?

Now, compare that list with the politicians and elected officials who are trying to derail Biden's agenda; or who are openly supporting/repeating Russian talking points; or who are trying to sabotage and weaken Biden's support within the US as well as internationally.

Patterns will emerge, I predict.
