Newly Launched Super PAC Vows to Raise Millions for Donald Trump<http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/newly-launched-super-pac-vows-raise-millions-donald/story?id=39074969>

As presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump<http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/donald-trump.htm> shifts his campaign to the general election, at least one super PAC is getting on board too.

A brand new pro-Trump super PAC launched today, touting its ability to take on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton through a major donor operation focused on funding voter registration programs, get-out-the-vote operations, and television and online media ad buys.

Representatives for the group, called the Committee for American Sovereignty, say they expect to raise $20 million between now and the GOP convention in July and upwards of $100 million throughout the course of the campaign.

Doug Watts, national executive director and spokesman for the group, who also served as a former adviser to Ben Carson<http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/us/ben-carson.htm>, told ABC News that the group's mission is to combat the "Clinton machine."

"With the recent announcement that a pro-Hillary Clinton super PAC has already booked over $90 million in ad time in just seven states in June, it is clear we need to ramp up major donor fundraising efforts, unify Republicans, and take on the Clinton machine. We have already begun to raise significant funds in California and from supporters across the country," Watts said.

The advisory committee to the Committee for American Sovereignty includes military leaders, the former chairman of Trump Resorts International and political activists from across the country.
