PAC stands for Political Action Committee. Super PAC is Super Political Action Committee. Both PAC and Super PAC have certain constraints on their money. PAC can donate money directly to their selected candidate or party. Super PACs, on the other hand, are more recent, and they cannot directly give money to parties or candidates. It can raise unrestricted amounts of money from donors, unions, or corporations.

The funds can even be used to speak out against the opposing party. This practice is why everyone hates commercials endorsing one candidate while gaslighting or trash-talking the other candidate. PACs are generally political organizations that are financed and governed by labor unions, corporations, and trade associations. Both PAC's and Super PAC's ambitions influence elections and support parties or candidates, even though each side conducts its campaigning differently.
