Ready For Hillary to Merge Social Media Channels with Emily's List When Clinton Announces [View all]

With Hillary Clinton’s not-yet-official presidential campaign revving up, the shadow campaigns are winding down. And as part of that, the outside Democratic groups that support her are discussing how to merge their efforts to help Clinton.

Adam Parkhomenko, the Executive Director of the super PAC has an idea: Transfer its Facebook and Twitter accounts in to the hands of another pro-Democratic group, Emily’s List.

"At the end of the day, if they wanted it, Facebook and Twitter would probably move to Emily’s List," Parkhomenko told ABC News in a recent interview.

Parkhomenko said he believes gifting the millions of fans and followers to the national group that encourages women to run for office simply “makes the most sense.”

And Emily’s List, which hosts an initiative called “Madam President” to support a female presidential candidate in 2016, is open to the plan.

“Ready for Hillary has done incredible work to capture the grassroots excitement from folks across the country,” Marcy Stech, a spokeswoman for the group, told ABC News. “We’re excited about the prospect of merging our communities who are united in electing our first woman president.”
