Mysterious New RBG PAC Starts Donating Millions—to Trump

The PAC spent $20 million on Trump Friday.

A new Republican PAC using the name of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg released two ads on Friday in an attempt to soften Donald Trump’s image on abortion, which has been a weakness in his campaign. “RBG believed abortion laws should be decided by the states, not the federal gov’t. Trump also doesn’t support a federal abortion ban. Great minds think alike,” reads the X bio of the PAC. The PAC, called RGB PAC, was formed only days ago and has spent $20 million on Trump, according to The New York Times. RGB PAC is an unlikely name for a pro-Trump PAC. Ginsburg criticized Trump while she was alive, and her dying wish in 2020 was to not have Trump pick her replacement on the court. Trump did pick her replacement, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was part of the majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022. The PAC’s central idea is also an extrapolation of Ginsburg’s views on abortion. Ginsburg argued that the right to an abortion would have been better supported by the basis of gender equality, rather than privacy, which was what Roe decided.
