why do corporations and rich people donate so much to campaigns and how does it actually help or affect the results?

I know it must be expensive traveling around to states and paying staff, but with social media and the internet as a whole, the general public doesn’t need to see the candidates to know their policies. So unless it’s just for favorable policy down the line, why do they donate so much? Are there other expenses besides logistics, pr, and payroll?

Politicians need donations in order to stay in power, at least in the US. So corporations can use donations to either party as the carrot to encourage some lobbying favor.
