Bikers for Trump is a political group in the United States that supports the former US president Donald Trump.[2][3] The group was founded by Chris Cox[4] and is composed primarily of motorcycle enthusiasts and was founded to advocate for Trump's policies and campaign during his presidential runs.[5][6][7] It was founded after the Trump Chicago rally protest in March 2016, which resulted in the cancellation of a scheduled Trump campaign rally, and was said in 2016 to have 30,000 members.[1] Bikers for Trump has been known for organizing rallies[8] and "providing security"[9] at Trump events. The organization gained attention for its presence during Trump's 2016[10] and 2020[11] presidential campaigns.[12][13]
