| dbo:abstract |
Great America Committee is a political action committee (PAC) registered by Vice President of the United States Mike Pence on May 17, 2017. It is the first example of an active vice president creating such a type of political action committee while serving in office. Fox News noted Pence's action came only one day after reporting on the Comey memos led to the appointment of a special counsel in the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections. Politico reported on the unusual nature of a vice president forming their own PAC, when they normally rely on their political party. NBC News said it was the first time a vice president took such an action. TheStreet.com called it "unprecedented" and "awkwardly-timed". Nine News observed the PAC was registered "amid the chaos" of the Trump administration. Bloomberg News and Nine News pointed out that both Joe Biden and Dick Cheney did not take such an action while serving as vice president. Salon noted this type of PAC was used by both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz as a tactic to launch their bids for president. Vanity Fair reported the action taken by Pence was an attempt to take control of his potential future during growing political talk of efforts to impeach Donald Trump. (en) |
