Democrats Address Surge of Outside Money in Primaries

Outside groups have spent record amounts in Democratic primaries, often overshadowing candidate campaigns, with some races seeing outside spending exceed candidate spending by 10 to 20 times.
The Democratic National Committee is advancing a resolution to condemn the influx of outside spending, reflecting ongoing tensions between party progressives and establishment members.
Candidates are increasingly blaming special interests for their struggles, with many calling for a pledge against super PAC spending in future Democratic primaries.
