.@ewarren: Billionaires shouldn't be able to fund their own 2020 campaigns, excepting, of course, @tomsteyer and Michael Bloomberg washex.am/2F5nKiq
"I think this is a moment for all of the Democratic nominees as they come into the race to say, in a Democratic primary, we are going to link arms... and say, grassroots funding. No to the billionaires ... whether they are self-funding or funding PACs," Warren told MSNBC.
When asked whether that precluded contenders like former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and hedge fund manager Tom Steyer from entering the fray for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Warren said, "Of course not."
"I just mean that people should not be self-funding, and they should not be funded from PACs from other billionaires," Warren said.

I wonder who is paying for Warren’s exploratory committee 🤔
“Under a true exploratory committee, people can use their own money to test the waters. They can pay for political consulting or polling, for example, to gauge strength in an upcoming race.”

”They don’t have to report any of the money spent during this exploratory phase to the FEC. But those expenses must be reported on the first FEC report filed after becoming a candidate. If they don’t become a candidate, they don’t have to report the $💰.”
