Sen. Elizabeth Warren reversed her position on rejecting super PAC support as she seeks a comeback in the Democratic presidential primary.

The move comes the day after she and other Democratic candidates ganged up on billionaire Mike Bloomberg in the Nevada debate.

Warren, who has previously said that she would disavow the support of a super PAC that sought to aid her bid for the presidency, told reporters that she had changed her mind after failing to get her rivals to join her in repudiating the outside spending groups. "So here's where I stand. If all the candidates want to get rid of super PACs, count me in. I'll lead the charge," Warren said. "But that's how it has to be. It can't be the case that a bunch of people keep them and only one or two don't."

"Finally, we reached the point a few weeks ago where all of the men who were still in this race and on the debate stage all had either super PACs or they were mutibillionaires and could just rummage around their sock drawers and find enough money to be able to fund a campaign," she said. The group has spent $1.7 million on television advertisements Nevada and South Carolina, according to Medium Buying, an ad buying firm. The super PAC's donors will not be publicly disclosed until after Nevada and South Carolina host their nominating contests this month. Nevada's caucuses are Saturday, and South Carolina's primary is Feb. 29.

Warren, during both the debate and the campaign event, skewered billionaire Mike Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, who has been plowing hundreds of millions of dollars into a bid for the Democratic nomination.

Warren leaves door open for super PAC spendingA new pro-Warren super PAC has launched in Nevada, despite the senator's condemnations of big money in politics. All of a sudden it’s ok for billionaires in both parties. And dark money are now accepted as business as usual. Citizens United on steroids. The voters are complicit. Eisenhower taxed the rich and corporations at 61% and they profited. Cut military spending to China levels.
