Kohl's Says No To Sponsoring RNC, But What Companies Are Signing On To The Event?
Wisconsin-based retailer Kohls Corp (NYSE:KSS) recently said it would not sponsor the Milwaukee-hosted Republican National Convention, July 15-18. Other companies will still sponsor the event; the convention comes just days after former President Donald Trump's New York trial sentencing.
威斯康星州的零售商科爾斯公司（NYSE：KSS）最近表示，將不會贊助於7月15日至18日舉行的共和黨全國大會在密爾沃基舉辦。其他公司仍將贊助這一活動；該會議剛剛結束前總統唐納德·特朗普在紐約的審判判決幾天。
Kohl's Backs Out: CNBC reported on Thursday that Kohl's would not sponsor the event.
《CNBC》週四報道稱，科爾不會贊助該活動。
"Kohl's is not a political organization nor donor and is not sponsoring nor engaging in any specific RNC events," a spokeswoman told CNBC. "We support the business community through the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce."
發言人告訴CNBC：“科爾不是一個政治組織，也不是捐贈者，也不讚助，也不參與任何特定的RNC活動。我們通過大都會密爾沃基商會來支持商業社區。”
The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) disperses some funds to the RNC, according to CNBC.
根據《CNBC》的報道，大都會密爾沃基商會（MMAC）向RNC分配了一些資金。
Historically, corporations have sponsored both the Republican National Convention and the Democratic National Convention as a means of gaining influence. Recently, corporations have been less likely to sponsor the events publicly.
歷史上，企業一直贊助共和黨全國大會和民主黨全國大會，以獲得影響力。最近，企業不太可能公開贊助這些活動。
Initial Reactions: Some figures, including attorney and Lincoln Project founder George Conway, applauded the decision, given the former president's recent conviction for falsifying business records. Trump faces three other indictments: an election interference case in Georgia, a retention of classified documents case in Washington, D.C., and a Washington, D.C. election interference case relating to Trump's actions on Jan. 6, 2021.
一些人物，包括律師、林肯計劃的創始人喬治·康威，由於前總統最近因僞造商業記錄而被定罪，對這一決定表示讚賞。特朗普面臨着其他三項指控：在喬治亞州的選舉干擾案中，因爲在華盛頓特區保留機密文件而被控以及因特朗普在2021年1月6日的行動而引起的華盛頓特區選舉干擾案。
"Good for Kohl's," Conway said in a post on X. "No self-respecting business should support the cultish and mendacious idolation of a depraved sociopath and convicted felon."
“科爾有眼光，”柯南道爾在X上發帖說。“沒有自尊的商家應該支持那個偏執狂、喜歡說謊話、沒有什麼好東西的邪惡罪犯。”
Others were more critical, opining that supporters of Trump should begin a boycott of Kohl's similar to those of Bud Light, Planet Fitness and Disney.
其他人則更爲批評，認爲特朗普的支持者應該開始抵制科爾，就像抵制Bud Light、Planet Fitness和Disney一樣。
Other Sponsors: The Milwaukee-based fintech company Fiserv Inc (NYSE:FI) will sponsor both the RNC and the DNC, a spokesperson told NBC News in May. AT&T Inc (NYSE:T) said it would provide "network connectivity."
位於密爾沃基的金融科技公司Fiserv Inc (NYSE: FI)將在NBC新聞5月份發言人對此表示，將贊助民主黨全國大會和共和黨全國大會。AT&T Inc (NYSE：T）說，它將提供“網絡連接”。
Other corporations will likely sponsor the event, either publicly or privately, as the event date draws nearer.
其他企業在接近活動日期時可能會公開或私下贊助。
2020 RNC Sponsors: The 2020 Republican National Convention was held in Charlotte, N.C., and raised more than $38 million, according to the Charlotte Observer.
2020共和黨全國大會在北卡羅來納夏洛特舉行，並籌集了超過3800萬美元，據《夏洛特觀察家》報道。
Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) and Wells Fargo & Co (NYSE:WFC) both donated to the host committee but were not listed as sponsors per the Observer.
美國銀行（NYSE: BAC）和富國銀行（NYSE: WFC）捐贈了主辦委員會，但根據觀察家報告，未列爲贊助商。
Charter Communications Inc (NASDAQ:CHTR) was listed as a sponsor of the event along with Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc (NASDAQ:COKE) and Dominion Energy Inc (NYSE:D), among others.
特許通訊公司（NASDAQ:CHTR）與可口可樂裝瓶公司（NASDAQ:COKE）和Dominion Energy Inc（NYSE:D）等公司一起列爲該活動的贊助商。
The decision to sponsor or not sponsor the event drew commentary similar to the reaction to Kohl's in 2024.
贊助或不讚助該活動的決定引起了與2024年科爾的反應類似的評論。
