   • A PAC may contribute no more than $5,000 to a federal candidate in a general or primary election. PACs have grown to become the second-largest source of campaign funds, trailing only individuals (Herrnson 2004). 2006, Peter L. Francia, The Future of Organized Labor in American Politics, Columbia University Press, →ISBN, page 81:
   • The new group, called Save America, is a federal fund-raising vehicle known as a leadership PAC that has donation limits of $5,000 per donor per year. […] In that sense, his PAC could become a fan-subsidized machine to perpetuate his agenda and plot his next moves. […] Leadership PACs are generally seen as loosely regulated — Joseph R. Biden Jr. operated one during the 2018 midterms ahead of his own presidential run — and the committee gives Mr. Trump a place to continue to direct supporter cash. 2020 November 10, Shane Goldmacher, Maggie Haberman, Rachel Shorey, “Trump Starts PAC for Future Endeavors, Biden Will Speak on Obamacare Case”, in The New York Times, →ISSN, archived from the original on 04 Feb 2021:
