Liz Warren Reportedly Hurting Dems’ Senate Fundraising

Wall Street Dems withholding cash for down-ballot Senate races.

WFB:

Several Wall Street Democratic megadonors are reportedly withholding donations for down-ballot Senate candidates due to their dissatisfaction with presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s rise in the polls.

CNBC reports the Massachusetts senator’s rise is hurting the party’s fundraising efforts. “Some finance executives have recently told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that they are, for the moment, holding back from donating to Democrats running for Senate in 2020,” the report says, “due to their concerns with Warren becoming a front-runner in the race for the party’s presidential nomination.”

Warren has steadily climbed in the RealClearPolitics average of Democratic primary polls from a distant fifth in April to a close second in November, including a brief moment in October when she supplanted former vice president Joe Biden as the frontrunner. read more
