Disney donated $4.8 million to Florida candidates in the 2020 election cycle, Politico
reports, citing federal election records, including $913,000 to the Republican Party of Florida and $50,000 to DeSantis. The company also wields considerable influence in the state legislature, the
Tallahassee Democrat reports, through its significant economic impact on the state through Walt Disney World and an extensive lobbying operation, which it’s likely to flex if Republicans start taking action against it.
Lawmakers could repeal a law that would fundamentally change how Walt Disney World operates.
