A small group of President Trump's fiercest conservative critics, including the husband of the president's chief adviser, is launching a super PAC designed to fight the president's re-election and punish congressional Republicans deemed as his “enablers.'
It is very much a work in progress, despite Tuesday's official launch. While the core players don't yet have titles, day-to-day operations will be led by Horn and Reed Galen, a veteran Republican operative who worked for McCain but left the GOP after Trump's nomination in 2016., which means it can raise and spend unlimited sums of money and must disclose its donors.
Specifically, the group plans to focus on blocking Trump's re-election and defeating Trump-allied Senate candidates in a handful of key 2020 battlegrounds. To do so, it's targeting a narrow but important slice of the electorate: disaffected Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Weaver said the group is already reviewing scripts for new ads, which are expected to begin running early next year.
Meanwhile, George Conway, who formally left the GOP last year, said he likely would serve in a “cheerleader” capacity for the new organization because of his limited political experience.
