Sen. Elizabeth Warren pushed her pledge to have her presidential campaign avoid big money a step further this week, committing to avoid pricey fundraisers even if she is elected the Democratic nominee.
She had not previously said she would avoid big-dollar fundraisers during the general election if made the nominee.
"I'm not going to do the big-dollar fundraisers. I'm just not going to do it. The whole notion behind this campaign is that we build this together.
In an interview with MSNBC's Chris Hayes earlier this year, Warren signaled that her pledge to avoid big-dollar fundraisers didn't apply in a general election. The new commitment is significant because it could put Warren at a financial disadvantage against President Donald Trump, whose reelection campaign is already spending millions of dollars per week on advertisements. Trump and the Republican National CommitteeRufus Gifford, President Barack Obama's fundraising chief during his 2012 reelection campaign, said Warren's move could hurt the rest of the Democratic Party's fundraising efforts next year.
