Priorities USA Action was created to support Obama's re-election in 2012. The SuperPAC is run by former Obama campaign officials.

Q: How can these people donate so much money to the Presidential Elections?

A: SuperPAC's are organizations - 'Political Action Committees', that usually spend most of their money on 'attack ads' - negative advertising against a candidate they want to see lose. Super PAC's can recieve and spend any amount of money, as long as they don't donate it to candidates, a campaign, or communicate with the candidates.
