The advertising includes positive portrayals of Biden in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida, and Ohio.[2][3] The PAC has over 360 members, including former cabinet members and senior officials.[4]

The group releases videos from former officials in support of Joe Biden. The group has been in contact with the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign, but has no direct affiliation with former president George W. Bush.[5]

Because it was formed a day after the June 30 deadline that would have required disclosure of its donors in mid-July, the group would not have to make the disclosure until mid-October, less than three weeks before the election.[6]

After Biden was elected, its name changed into 43 Alumni for America.
