CBS News just reported that Mallory McMorrow’s campaign is supported by billionaires and super PACs. The bombshell report comes despite McMorrow’s insistent claims she wants to get corporate money and influence out of politics and even called out Haley Stevens for taking corporate PAC money because “we need to know who our next senator is working for.”
“Mallory McMorrow is a liar and a hypocrite who says one thing and does another,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell. “Her flip-flops on issues like corporate donations and Israel will keep piling up as she races to the left in this messy Democrat primary.”
As reported by CBS News:
After the 2024 election, the Majority Democrats PAC was launched by centrist Democrats to recruit new candidates and challenge the party’s more progressive wing.
The Mandels, along with Mark Heising — a billionaire investor in San Francisco who also fundraises for Democrats — are top funders of Majority Democrats PAC. More than 90% of its publicly disclosed fundraising haul since last July is traced to more than $7 million in contributions from the Mandels and roughly $1 million from Heising.
Majority Democrats PAC fundraises alongside another political committee called The Bench, which says on its website that it “is recruiting and supporting the next generation of Democratic leaders.”
Personnel overlap between the two committees makes it hard to determine who is being paid by whom, experts said, noting that some of the same consultants who have been identified in news reports as working on behalf of Majority Democrats have also been quoted in the press as being affiliated with The Bench. They have also been identified as advisers to two Democratic senate candidates: Mallory McMorrow in Michigan and James Talarico in Texas.
Federal records do not list any payments from these two PACs to the consultants. But there are direct payments from the McMorrow and Talarico campaigns to the consultants for “communications consulting.”
