Great America PAC is a Super PAC (political action committee) that supported Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.[2] It was founded in 2016 by Eric Beach, a political strategist and veteran of presidential campaigns.[3] Beach soon brought on Ed Rollins, a long time Republican campaign consultant and strategist who served as the campaign manager for Ronald Reagan's 1984 presidential campaign.[4]
The PAC continued in operation after Trump was elected in 2016. It raised $11.1 million between 2017 and mid-2019, despite being condemned by the Trump 2020 campaign because the PAC has no official connection to the campaign.[5]
