There's another part of the interview where SBF says he donated about the same to Democrats and Republicans, contrary to the public record. https://youtu.be/6DezodR9hNI?t=775

His explanation and reasoning is that Democrat donations would be treated favorably by the media so those were done publicly, while "reporters would freak the fuck out" about Republican donations. So he made those in the dark.

The party breakdown doesn't seem very interesting to me. A huge chunk of the money went to one pro-crypto long-shot candidate who got trounced 2-to-1 in the primary election. That one block of money distorts any aggregate analysis.
