Agree

Yes

Some Republicans support a 5-year ban on lobbying to reduce the influence of special interests in politics. For example, President Trump proposed a 5-year ban on lobbying during his 2016 campaign. However, not all Republicans agree on this issue, so the score is not a strong agreement.

No, the current two-year ban is sufficient
