Right Side PAC was a super PAC created by a group of Republicans with a mission of convincing anti-Donald Trump Republican voters to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the 2020 United States presidential election.[1] It was a single-candidate PAC, with Biden being the only supported candidate.[2]

The group targeted voters in swing states such as Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.[3]

The group was led by Matt Borges, a former chairman of the Ohio Republican Party. Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci who served under Trump, is also a member of the PAC.[4] The super PAC shut down in July 2020 – a month after being formed – after Borges was arrested on federal corruption charges.[5]
