The question asked:

... standard practice for corporations is to fund both opposing candidates. What political viewpoint is being expressed?

The question answered:

I am a big wealthy drug company.... I'm funding two opposing candidates. The political viewpoint being expressed is the policy I'm trying to bulldoze through.

It makes not a whit of difference which politician pushes it through.

This is called hedging your bets, and is considered prudent business practice.
