'When sports and pop culture were discussed here more than alleged sexual predators and their effect on political campaigns.' = correct use

'When sports and pop culture were discussed here more than alleged sexual predators and how they affect political campaigns.' = correct use

Affect can be a noun, too. As in, "We observed Dick Whitman's affect shifting radically as HRC discussed employing Lena Dunham in the campaign."
