I will ONLY support Democratic primary candidates

who also participate in the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund.

“The Democratic Unity Fund is a promise that whoever earns our nomination, he or she will have a strong, united, and well-organized DNC ready to spring into action the moment the general election starts — a DNC that’s ready to lift us all to victory in November,” Obama said.

All donations from the fund would go towards helping DNC-led programs, including “Organizing Corps 2020” and “the Data Warehouse.” The fund would also help “voter protection efforts that are essential to winning in 2020,” Obama wrote.

Elizabeth Warren is one candidate who is participating in this effort.

No candidate can win this on their own, and that's why we need a Democratic Party capable of investing in the infrastructure to spread our message, mobilize voters, and get out the vote. For that to happen, we need grassroots supporters like you to become a part of this movement.

That's why I'm fired up about the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund, which will combine the efforts of candidates, supporters, and the DNC so we can win this thing. So I have to ask:

Will you make a $50 contribution that will be split evenly between my campaign and the DNC's Democratic Unity Fund today?
...


This kind of esprit de corps, enthusiasm and commitment to party unity is why Elizabeth is among my top-tier candidates. There are many other reasons as well.

While I am sure that many other candidates will also participate, I am also fairly sure that at least two will NOT.
