Warren, who made a name for herself as an anti-Wall Street firebrand in the Bernie Sanders mold, is expected to easily win re-election in Massachusetts in 2018. But G.O.P. operatives aren’t waiting for Warren to run in 2020 before using the upcoming election as an opportunity to launch a familiar set of attacks. Politico reports that a mysterious super PAC called Massachusetts First has begun a campaign to “bring to light her hypocrisy and out-of-touch policy positions,” running radio ads and raising $200,000 to continue its attack against the “hypocrite professor” from Harvard. A whopping $150,000 of Massachusetts First’s war chest was donated by Robert Mercer, the billionaire Trump supporter who is also a major stakeholder in Breitbart News and a longtime patron of Steve Bannon. Notably, it was the largest donation Mercer made this year, according to F.E.C. records.
Outside of Massachusetts First—a reference to Trump’s “America First” slogan—other groups are coalescing around an anti-Warren campaign. America First Action and America Rising, two pro-Trump super PACs, have begun collaborating in their anti-Warren opposition research and strategy, Politico reports. Trump’s re-election committee itself began operations within days of his inauguration, released an ad this month calling her a “career politician.”

"While Senator Warren has been auditioning for higher office and traveling the country to build her political profile, Massachusetts voters have been hurting. Elizabeth Warren is completely out of touch with her constituents, and we intend to make sure Massachusetts voters don't forget."
