Elizabeth Warren has called for getting rid of big money in politics, including super-PACs, because they try to buy our democracy. Now a super-PAC is backing her presidential campaign.

Persist PAC, formed on Friday, will begin airing its first ad on Warren’s behalf on Thursday. The super-PAC has booked $796,000 in television and cable time in Nevada, more than twice the $323,000 that Warren’s campaign is spending, according to Advertising Analytics.
