Super PACs Aid Warren, Klobuchar Whether They Like It or Not

Associated Press

   CHICAGO - Democrats Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar are getting help
   for their presidential bids from separate super PACs, whether they like
   it or not.

   Persist PAC started running ads Wednesday in Nevada to support Warren.
   The Massachusetts senator has made lessening the influence of unlimited
   spending a centerpiece of her campaign. Kitchen Table Conversations PAC
   is running ads in Nevada and South Carolina to help Klobuchar. The
   Minnesota senator has rejected contributions from corporate political
   action committees.

   It's the type of spending that Democrats lined up against at the start
   of the campaign. But as outside groups backed other candidates and
   billionaire Mike Bloomberg joined the race, making multimillion-dollar
   ad buys across the United States, the groups and supporters such as
   Emily's List said they needed to jump in and help boost the campaigns
   of the top two women still in the race.

   ``SenatorWarren is the best candidate to take on Donald Trump and win,
   and we're going to ensure primary voters andcaucusgoershear her
   message,'' said Joshua Karp, a spokesman for Persist PAC. He said the
   ad buywas over $1 million.
