As a result of Agenda 47, more political action committees have been formed in support of dismantling the federal government's reach into Americans' lives and supporting Trump's agenda.
Following President-elect Donald Trump's recent victory, the "America First" crowd is fired up for another four years of the former president's first term. Some of Trump's goals include uprooting the federal bureaucracy and reducing the size of the federal government, resulting in him creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for his second term.
The purpose of the DOGE is to downsize the federal government and will be led by Tesla owner Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
The pair will lead Trump's newly created agency intended for the sole purpose of eliminating unnecessary expenditures and programs. They explained their approach in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal. "This team will work in the new administration closely with the White House Office of Management and Budget," they wrote. "The two of us will advise DOGE at every step to pursue three major kinds of reform: regulatory rescissions, administrative reductions and cost savings."
As a result of this new upcoming agenda, more political action committees have been formed in support of dismantling the federal government and supporting Trump's agenda.
Some of the super PACs include the DOGE PAC, the 'Make America Greater' Super PAC and the 'Integrity Political Action Committee,' according to Politico.
Super PACs have been around for years and have supported both sides of the political aisle and these new ones are really expected to support Agenda 47.
PAC's that have supported Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign include Restoration PAC, Preserve America PAC and Make America Great Again Inc. As Trump ran on an "America First" agenda and used populist messaging, it is likely that these new PACs will have a similarly more populist take.
Congressman Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., said that there are lots of departments that should go in the next Trump administration.
"I'm glad to hear the reports that are coming out – getting rid of the Department of Education," Rosendale said on the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "I think you can get rid of the Department of Energy. I think you can get rid of the EPA."
Rosendale argued that a lot of states can have control over their own energy. "Every single state has their own department of environmental quality and they have standards that are already as high as the EPA sets for them," Rosendale said.
"We have a legal system that provides for it and everybody has regulations in place to protect [it]," he added. "We should start getting rid of those agencies right now."
