'Outside groups like super PACs and dark money groups have combined to spend $45 million so far in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary,' Issue One research director Michael Beckel tweeted on Tuesday.
Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, who suspended his campaign this week, received $3.7 million in support, while Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, who suspended her campaign on Monday, garnered $2.7 million. In total, $45 million has been spent by super PACs and outside groups supporting or opposing candidates still in the race for the Democratic nomination, including $1.3 million in oppositional spending by conservative committees.
Warren previously said that she"won't take a dime of PAC money." But that changed in late February, when she suggested accepting the support was necessary. Also on February 20, Sanders sent an email to supporters that said plainly:"We're not going to have a super PAC." But the candidate has been backed to the tune of $680,000 by the Vote Nurses Values PAC of the California Nurses Associations. The Sunrise PAC has additionally spent $110,000, while the Popular Democracy PAC has shelled out $83,000 backing his candidacy. Several other groups have spent tens of thousands in the senator's support.
. That ruling allowed for such groups to raise unlimited funds to support political candidates, so long as they did not coordinate with their campaigns. These committees must report their contributions on a semiannual basis during off-election years and monthly during the year of an election.
