Employees at Amazon donated more than $2 million to President Joe Biden's 2020 campaign and just a few hundred thousand to former President Donald Trump, Fox Business reports.

The Center for Responsive Politics released data that shows workers at Amazon last campaign season donated about $2.22 million to Biden, about $900K to the Democratic National Committee Services Corp., and about $800K to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who mounted an unsuccessful presidential bid.

Trump received just about $260,000 in donations from employees of Amazon, the only Republican to make the top 10 politicians to receive money from Amazon workers.

Biden also took in millions from employees of other major technology companies, including Alphabet, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft, for a combined $12.3 million.

Fox News noted, while Biden has yet to announce any major technology-related legislation, he has previously called to revoke the section of the Communications Decency Act that Trump pushed to repeal, which protects companies from being found liable for the content their users post online.

"The idea that it's a tech company is that Section 230 should be revoked, immediately should be revoked, number one," Biden told The New York Times last January. "For [Facebook founder and chief executive Mark] Zuckerberg and other platforms. It should be revoked, because it is not merely an Internet company. It is propagating falsehoods they know to be false."
