Ted Harvey, the group’s chairman, says the "new mission is to save Americans from the radical, dangerous policies of the Biden-Harris administration."
He charged that "Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will work around the clock to reverse the unprecedented progress of the Trump presidency. From day one, we simply cannot let that happen. It is our patriotic duty to work around the clock and stop them—before the damage done to America becomes irreversible."
