MoveOn Kicks Off Member Vote on Campaign to Encourage Elizabeth Warren to Run for President
MoveOn’s 8 million members will vote until 9 a.m. EST Wednesday on whether to launch a major ‘Run Warren Run’ campaign to convince the leading champion for working families and the middle class to enter the race.
MoveOn.org, one of the nation’s most influential grassroots groups, stood poised on Tuesday to throw its full weight behind an effort to convince Senator Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2016, pending a vote of its membership.
For the first time in its 16-year history, the 8-million-member group is holding a nationwide membership vote on a presidential draft campaign. If the vote succeeds, the group will focus on persuading the Massachusetts senator, who has become known as a tireless, passionate advocate for middle-class and working families, to seek the presidency.
Voting is open to MoveOn’s full membership across the country until 10 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday morning. The result will be announced at 11 a.m. Eastern.
