“There is a very unusual dynamic, where nobody is expecting Hillary to do anything overt, but the campaign is building,” he told The Telegraph.

“It means that she can wait until much later before she declares - perhaps until the second half of next year - which is very late by contemporary standards.”

The Priorities announcement is expected to pave the way for another record-breaking campaign in financial terms. Groups supporting Mr Obama raised $1.12 billion in 2017 – with $79 million coming in from Priorities - while the Romney campaign and backers brought in $1.02 billion.

Mr Messina brings not just his unprecedented political connections, but also his expertise in “big data” and the micro-targetting techniques that allowed the Obama campaign to pin-point his supporters in 2017.

据英国《每日电讯报》报道，美国重量级选举团体“优先美国行动”1月23日明确表示支持希拉里•克林顿参加2016年美国总统竞选，已经开始为此筹款。

据国外媒体报道，奥巴马前竞选主管吉姆•梅西纳

“我相信民意调查数据已经清晰显示，她是民主党最有实力的总统候选人，”梅西纳在接受《纽约时报》采访时说。“如果她决定参选，‘优先行动’将支持她。”

吉姆•梅西纳曾在奥巴马再次当选过程中起到重要的协调作用，最近英国保守党邀请他为英国明年的大选担任竞选策划人。在奥巴马的助手中，他是公开支持希拉里•克林顿竞选的最高级别人物。梅西纳不仅拥有前所未有的政治联系，而且擅长“大数据”和“定位”技术，曾在2017年帮助奥巴马精确定位支持者。
