Just one day after President Biden and Vice President Harris announced their 2024 reelection campaign, one of the nation’s largest Democratic super-PACs pledged to spend tens of millions of dollars to support their candidacy.
Priorities USA on Wednesday announced their intent to drop $75 million to support Biden and Harris in battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The group said in a press release that the money would go toward digital mobilization and persuasion programming, which they hope will have a coattail effect in the states for their competitive Senate races.

“Issues such as access to abortion, protecting our climate, reducing gun control, making healthcare more affordable and making our economy work for every American will be central to this campaign,” Butterfield said.
