Adam Kinzinger group gives 2022 help to Republicans who impeached Trump
by David M. Drucker, Senior Political Correspondent |
| March 03, 2021 06:47 AM Republicans under fire from forces loyal to former President Donald Trump are getting reinforcements from a new super PAC run by allies of Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger.
Americans Keeping Country First is dedicated to defending the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in the waning days of his presidency and to protecting Republicans who convicted him at trial in the Senate after he left office. The group plans to invest resources in GOP primaries to beat back challenges waged by pro-Trump candidates and advertising campaigns financed by pro-Trump super PACs, including the former president’s own Save America PAC.
Kinzinger, 43, has emerged as among Trump’s most outspoken Republican critics since the Jan. 6 ransacking of the United States Capitol by the 45th president’s grassroots supporters. The congressman, already facing a primary challenge from a pro-Trump Republican, wants to boost traditional conservatives and repel the populist takeover of the GOP led by the former president and his loyalists. Trump is popular with Republican voters, but Kinzinger believes he is ruining the party.
