    GOP is Grand Ole Party. It’s the Republican party’s second name.

    PAC is political action committee. It’s an organization that is not legally the candidate or their election slush fund to elect a person or people. Basically it’s a way to spend money on a political thing that ignores all campaign finance rules.

    Both terms are incredibly common in America. TV and radio will use both without offering an explanation.
