We see these issues basically during every campaign season. My favorite response was the Dropkick Murphys telling Scott Walker not to use their music because “we literally hate you.”
So my point being campaigns will probably continue to use music unauthorized until they are held more responsible. Obviously they don’t care because they keep using unauthorized music.

They can't stop the campaign from using the music it they play it in locations with ASCAP licenses. The same reason a bar can play music without direct permission of the artist.

It's a lot more complicated than that, and the ASCAP licensing specifically excludes campaign events and conventions...

It sounds like you don’t know what makes music use authorizes or not.
