text_2: What's true: Individuals who listed their employer as Nike did contribute vastly more to Republicans than to Democrats during the 2018 federal election cycle. What's false: Those contributions were not made by Nike itself as a company and were dominated by donations from Nike's billionaire co-founder Phil Knight, who is no longer actually an employee. Nike's political action committee donated fairly evenly to both Democratic and Republican candidates during the same period.
