JUST IN: Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) announces PAC to OPPOSE Trump actions – The Hill
Senator Murphy is creating a new political action committee to oppose President Trump’s agenda, seeking to mobilize those who want to push back against the administration.
Murphy on Monday said in a post on X that his group, American Mobilization, will support “citizen led protest” throughout the country. Politico first reported Murphy’s plans.
“Let’s make a commitment. Let’s decide to build it together. I’m launching a new fund: American Mobilization. And the purpose is really simple: to support citizens and organizations who right now are mobilizing all over the country against Trump’s corruption,” he said in a video.
Murphy said in the video that the Trump administration is “overwhelming” the public because “they want us to believe that we’re powerless,” but he called that “the biggest lie of all.” He said history shows that mass mobilization can win, but it needs infrastructure, including organizers, technology and logistics support.
“Wherever there are Americans willing to stand up against this corruption, we want to be there with the resources that they need to mobilize,” he said in the video. “The fight is right now. And so the money that we’re raising is going right now to that fight.”
