About Groundswell

Groundswell, now called the Third Century Group, is a coalition of prominent American conservative activists, led by Virginia Thomas and others, who began meeting in 2013 in order to fight progressivism in the United States and the Republican Party (GOP) establishment. Other members include John Bolton, Steve Bannon, Allen West, Mark Meadows, Sue Myrick, Frank Gaffney, Ken Blackwell, Jerry Boykin, Austin Ruse, Catherine Engelbrecht, Anita MonCrief, and Tom Fitton. Groundswell went on to be influential in the White House during Donald Trump's first term as president, conducting an effort to rid the White House and other government agencies of so-called "deep state" opponents of Trump.
