The Lincoln Project is a political action committee (PAC) formed in late 2019 by a group of former Republican strategists and activists who opposed the re-election of then-President Donald Trump in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The group describes itself as a "political movement dedicated to restoring our democracy" and aims to "defeat President Trump and Trumpism at the ballot box."
The Lincoln Project is known for producing and airing a series of hard-hitting political ads attacking President Trump and other Republican politicians who support him. The group's ads have been widely viewed and shared on social media, and are often credited with influencing public opinion, particularly among moderate and independent voters.
In addition to producing ads, the Lincoln Project has also been involved in organizing voter registration and get-out-the-vote efforts, as well as supporting Democratic candidates in key races around the country.
Since the 2020 election, the Lincoln Project has continued to be active in promoting its political agenda, including advocating for voting rights, opposing efforts to restrict access to abortion, and supporting the Biden administration's policy initiatives.
