Former Vice President Joe Biden is rejecting the help of a super PAC formed tosupport his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination
Former Vice President Joe Biden is rejecting the help of a super PAC formed to support his candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination.
If a candidate rejects the help of a super PAC, it can often make it harder for the PAC to raise the money it needs to operate. Third, the operatives behind the PAC ― Matthew Tompkins, a Democratic fundraiser, is listed as the group’s treasurer ― are relatively little known in Democratic circles. Another PAC formed by Tompkins earlier this year, America’s Future Majority Fund, neither raised nor spent any money in its first two months of existence, according to FEC records.
Most Democratic candidates have said they would only disavow super PACs during the primary, and will be willing to match President Donald Trump dollar-for-dollar during the general election. In the meantime, the Democratic super PAC Priorities USA has already begun running digital ads attacking Trump, and is prepared to spend tens of millions of dollars before the party settles on a nominee.
Biden has been fairly consistent in his opposition to super PACs. In his memoir, “Promise Me, Dad,” he writes that he would have “reject[ed] the super PAC system” had he run for president in 2016.
