43 Alumni For America
43 Alumni for America, formerly 43 Alumni for Biden, is a Super PAC created by administration and campaign officials of the 43rd US president George W. Bush with a mission to mobilize Republican voters to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 US presidential election. The advertising included positive portrayals of Biden in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, and Ohio. The PAC has over 360 members, including former cabinet members and senior officials. The group released videos from former officials in support of Joe Biden. The group had been in contact with the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign but has no direct affiliation with former president George W. Bush. Because it was formed a day after the June 30 deadline that would have required disclosure of its donors in mid-July, the group would not have to make the disclosure until mid-October, less than three weeks before the election. They raised $96,234 (~$ in ) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Super PAC
Independent expenditure-only political action committees, better known as super PACs, are a type of political action committee (PAC) in the United States. Unlike traditional PACs, super PACs are legally allowed to fundraise unlimited amounts of money from individuals or organisations for the purpose of campaign advertising; however, they are not permitted to either coordinate with or contribute directly to candidate campaigns or political parties. Super PACs are subject to the same organizational, reporting, and public disclosure requirements of traditional PACs. History Super PACs were made possible by two judicial decisions in 2010: ''Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission'' and, two months later, ''Speechnow.org v. FEC''. In ''Speechnow.org'', the federal Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit held that PACs that did not make contributions to candidates, parties, or other PACs could accept unlimited contributions from individuals, unions, and corporations (both for ...

Joe Biden 2020 Presidential Campaign
On April 25, 2019, former vice president Joe Biden released a video announcing his candidacy in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. On November 3, 2020, Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, defeated incumbent Republican president Donald Trump and vice president Mike Pence in the general election. Biden, vice president of the United States from 2009 to 2017 and previously a U.S. senator from Delaware from 1973 to 2009, had been the subject of widespread speculation as a potential 2020 candidate after declining to be a candidate in 2016. His 2020 campaign positions included codifying '' Roe v. Wade'' into statute, creating a public option for health insurance, decriminalizing recreational cannabis, passing the Equality Act, providing tuition-free community college, and passing a $1.7 trillion climate plan embracing the framework of the Green New Deal. Biden supported regulation of fracking as opposed to a complete ban on the practice. Biden entered th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Centrist Political Advocacy Groups In The United States
Centrism is the range of political ideologies that exist between left-wing politics and right-wing politics on the left–right political spectrum. It is associated with moderate politics, including people who strongly support moderate policies and people who are not strongly aligned with left-wing or right-wing policies. Centrism is commonly associated with liberalism, radical centrism, and agrarianism. Those who identify as centrist support gradual political change, often through a welfare state with moderate redistributive policies. Though its placement is widely accepted in political science, radical groups that oppose centrist ideologies may sometimes describe them as leftist or rightist. Centrist parties typically hold the middle position between major left-wing and right-wing parties, though in some cases they will hold the left-leaning or right-leaning vote if there are no viable parties in the given direction. Centrist parties in multi-party systems hold a strong posi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Right Side PAC
Right Side PAC was a super PAC created by a group of Republicans with a mission of convincing anti-Donald Trump Republican voters to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the 2020 United States presidential election. It was a single-candidate PAC, with Biden being the only supported candidate. The group targeted voters in swing states such as Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The group was led by Matt Borges, a former chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci who served under Trump, is also a member of the PAC.

Republican Voters Against Trump
Republican Accountability (RA), formerly Republican Accountability Project (RAP) and, for the 2024 presidential election, Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), is a political initiative launched in May 2020 by Defending Democracy Together for the 2020 U.S. presidential election cycle. The project was formed to produce a US$10 million advertising campaign focused on 100 testimonials by Republicans, conservatives, moderates, right-leaning independent voters, and former Trump voters explaining why they would not vote for Donald Trump in 2020. By August 2020, they had collected 500 testimonials. On January 29, 2021, it transitioned to the Republican Accountability Project (RAP), which focuses on defending "Republican principles", and attacking Republicans whom they hold responsible for the 2021 storming of the United States Capitol. The organization purchased ad campaigns to criticize members of the Republican Party, particularly those allegedly involved in the January 6 United S ...

Never Trump Movement
The Never Trump movement (also known as #nevertrump, Stop Trump, anti-Trump, or Dump Trump movement) is a conservative political movement that opposes Trumpism and U.S. president Donald Trump, and in general, supports a return to a more rules-based internationalist, norm-following, ideologically conservative-oriented Republican party. The name originates from how much of a possibility there was that its adherents could be "persuaded to vote for Trump in the 2016 general election". It is generally made up of "long-standing, professional Republicans or conservatives", donors, consultants, operatives, writers and commentators, as well as Republican officeholders. Many of the last group have abandoned the cause and journeyed to Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago to "kiss the ring" or "bend the knee", as rank and file support for Trump has remained strong, and his takeover of the Republican party has been consolidated. The movement began as an effort on the part of a group of Republ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
