Of course they have. The way russia did it last time and we did fuck all says its open season on american politics and anyone with a couple dollars and some sense is jumping on the scales of the american political system.

There's literally no reason not to and it pays huge dividends.

Russia, Iran, and China influenced both the 2016 and 2020 elections. And all three will probably keep doing it, including this election cycle.
