Democrats ramp up super PAC scrutiny as part of 2024 postmortem
Democrats performing postmortems on the 2024 presidential race have taken a closer look at how to best utilize super PACs to boost their future campaigns.
In previous election cycles, there has been one “chosen” super PAC, and donors are encouraged to support that organization and not support other organizations. In 2024, the super PAC Future Forward was former President Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris’s preferred super PAC. But even before Harris lost, the organization had come under criticism by Democrats for a seemingly faulty strategy that included holding a majority of its funds until the tail end of the campaign.
Now, Democrats are discussing taking a broader, more inclusive strategy that allows multiple super PACs to play a role in helping their candidate win.
“One of the things that was clear in 2024 was that there should not be a single super PAC that has so much power and control,” said Democratic strategist Karen Finney, who has been in discussions about what role super PACs should take in the run-up to the next election.
