Former top Romney aide Katie Packer founded the billionaire funded anti-Trump “Our Principles PAC” earlier this year. The PAC has bought over $16 million in ads against Donald Trump so far this year. The group also admitted that they were working to steer Republican delegates away from Donald Trump.

OPP is also working in states and districts with unbound delegates to ensure those delegates are not supporting Trump on a first ballot at the RNC.
OPP is the leading #NeverTrump Super PAC.
There are at least four other anti-Trump Super PACs.
Katie Packer met with Republican Party leaders behind closed doors at their spring meeting in Florida last week.
Our Principles PAC released a statement Tuesday night before the results of the East Coast primaries were announced.
The anti-Trump Super PAC says they are already working to secure the 54 unbound delegates from Pennsylvania – before the results were even announced.
We fully expect Trump to win anywhere from 94 to 109 of the 172 delegates that will be elected tonight. Anything below those targets would deal a significant blow to his efforts.
Tonight’s largest single cache of delegates, 54 from Pennsylvania, will be sent to the convention as unbound delegates. Efforts to secure “not Trump” commitments from those delegates are already well underway.
