Super PAC backing Warren makes $9 million Super Tuesday ad buy
A mysterious Super PAC supporting Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presidential campaign is making a late attempt to save her candidacy with a $9 million ad buy in states voting next Tuesday.
Combined with the $3.25 million Persist PAC already spent in Super Tuesday states along with $2 million in Nevada and South Carolina, the shadowy group has committed over $14 million to try to buoy Warren’s candidacy.All together, Warren — who has made the corrupting influence of dark money central to her candidacy — now has the biggest Super PAC advertising in the Super Tuesday states.
Asked if the group had any comment on where the money was coming from, Persist PAC’s spokesperson Joshua Karp texted back “no sir.”
“Our goal is to show voters that Elizabeth Warren has been fighting for the middle class her whole life,” Karp said in an email disclosing the ad buy.
The $9 million buy is only in three states: California, Texas, and Warren’s home state of Massachusetts, where Sen. Bernie Sanders has made a late play. The group is airing the same ad it ran in Nevada, South Carolina, and other Super Tuesday states that focuses on Warren’s humble upbringing and former President Barack Obama’s past praise of her.
The Warren campaign did not immediately respond to request for comment.
All of the Democratic candidates except for the billionaires — who have outspent their rivals with enormous sums of their personal wealth — have had help from outside groups.
A Super PAC supporting Joe Biden made a late ad buy in the low six-figures for next Tuesday and a Super PAC supporting Pete Buttigieg announced a seven-figure ad buy for Tuesday after helping them both in earlier contests.
