Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is definitely a team player. She is donating $400,000 from her campaign war chest to 23 state Democratic parties to help bootstrap them for the midterms. She urged other Democrats to do the same, because money in January is more valuable than money in October. The states she picked, including Maine, North Carolina, Ohio, and Texas, have some key races this year.
She said the parties need money to hire staff, recruit volunteers, knock on doors, and make calls, starting now. Her money won't go far, but if it inspires other people to give to state Democratic parties, that could really help them. She made a point of emphasizing that the parties should focus on economic issues and say the Democrats will bring real change. (V)
