Warren sends Democrats $600K for midterms

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will transfer $600,000 from her campaign account to Democratic committees working on the midterms, according to details first shared with Semafor. The progressive senator will send $300,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $200,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and $100,000 to the Democratic National Committee.

Warren, who has raised over $1.1 million for the DNC, will make the announcement in Springfield, Illinois, at the Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association Brunch. Party strategists are hoping other progressive candidates, like Bernie Sanders, will follow her lead and move some of their money into the midterm fight.
