jeff zeleny is i ve in washington with more. several allies and donors and former strategists for joe biden have been talking about for weeks about the idea of setting up a superpac to help the biden campaign push back. the conversations have been stalled in recent weeks, but we are told that they are escalating now. they are nearing the final stages of seting up that super pac. not to win the democratic primary, per se, but to push back against the president and the trump campaign. this is controversial. super pacs are essentially not viewed highly in the primary. bernie sanders is already saying this is something joe biden should not be doing. but the reality here is that the long-term game and the cash situation inside the biden campaign might make this necessary. this is why. take a look at the numbers here of the cash on hand of the candidates. donald trump $158 million. bernie sanders, $33.7 million.
