Miller and Tanner Bates (both Political Science), "PACs and January 6th: Campaign Finance and Objections to the Electoral College Vote Count" was covered in the Washington Post article "How Corporate Liberalism is Changing Both Parties." The article discussed Miller and Bates' research on the effect of corporate versus individual campaign donations on legislators' adherence to democratic norms as part of a larger body of emerging scholarship in the field on the increasing politicization of corporations in the United States.
