Jen, See below. Best, Mark

On-the-record: “Throughout the course of the primary, we’ve amplified the voices of our candidates to help drive Democratic engagement. Now that we know who the Republican nominee will be, we are finding new ways to tap our candidates to make clear that Donald Trump’s vision for America is both divisive and reckless. Our goal is to mobilize Democrats across the country and make sure our candidates up and down the ballot have the resources they need to win in November.”

On background/Please paraphrase: NO, there is no new agreement. We reached out to both campaigns as part of these efforts. The Sanders campaign preferred that the DNC use his prior statements on Trump, so last week we sent a similar fundraising email using his quotes. Hillary Clinton was the only candidate who allowed us to use her signature to help raise critical funds for the party.

Hi guys,

I just got the below fundraising email and was wondering if it reflects a new agreement between the DNC and the Clinton campaign, an acknowledgement that she will almost certainly be the Democratic nominee, etc. Are you at all concerned that Sanders supporters will see this as the DNC choosing a winner before the voters have decided?

Thanks,
Jen

Jennifer --

What was once unimaginable is now all but certain. Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.

This isn't hyperbole: Our country -- and the whole world -- is counting on us to win this election.

No matter who you're supporting in our Democratic primary, I know this team will step up and do all we can to keep Trump out of the White House and beat the Republicans who will be on the ballot with him.
