Lincoln Project launches $1M offensive against Trump in Texas
By Justine Coleman - 10/06/20 11:14 AM EDT
The Lincoln Project on Tuesday launched a $1 million campaign against President Trump in Texas as Election Day looms.
The Republican anti-Trump group is targeting Hispanic and female voters in the Lone Star State, where polls show a competitive race between the president and Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Mike Madrid, co-founder of The Lincoln Project, said Trump has "dramatically accelerated†Texas’s move to becoming a swing state.
“The polling data is undeniable and has been consistent for months -- Republican voters are leaving Trump and Democrats are historically energized to turn him out of office,†he said in a statement. “We see an opportunity in Texas and we are going to take advantage of it.â€
The campaign will focus on “Trump’s encouragement of violence, extremism, and white supremacist organizations†in addition to his administration’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Trump’s own COVID-19 infection.
