The campaign finance laws won't change until the GOP loses control of the congress and presidency and/or the balance on the Supreme Court shifts (which is why stealing Garland's seat was a top priority despite all of Grassley et al.'s long history of sanctimonious pronouncements about the proud traditions of the Senate and blah blah; Gorsuch is even to the right of Scalia on all of these topics). There has been a decades-long effort on the right to shift power to moneyed corporate interests and away from the public (defanging regulators, opposing anti-trust action and promoting corporate consolidation across many industries, supporting binding arbitration, allowing unlimited anonymous political spending, privatizing public institutions and selling public assets, encouraging various kinds of tax dodges, taking the corporate side when ambiguous fine print in contracts borders on outright fraud, ...), tracking soaring levels of wealth/power inequality, and the party is all-in on it from top to bottom.
