Democratic Ohio Senate nominee Tim Ryan appears to have turned to a former Republican strategist with ties to the disgraced Lincoln Project for help with his campaign as he enters the final week leading up to Election Day, trailing in the polls to Republican nominee JD Vance.

Steve Schmidt, a co-founder of the left-wing PAC that has been beset by scandal and embarrassment as it seeks to stop the GOP from gaining control of the House and Senate, joined Ryan on the campaign trail for a number of days, lauding him as the "pro-democracy" candidate in the race and Vance as a "fascist."

"For the past few days, I’ve been out on the campaign trail with my good friend [Tim Ryan], who is in a very tight Senate race with the fascist [JD Vance]. What are you doing to support pro-democracy candidates on November 8th?" Schmidt wrote in a Sunday tweet, including a photo of himself with Ryan.

Founded in 2020 as an anti-Donald Trump PAC by disgruntled Republicans, the Lincoln Project received liberal media acclaim for its vitriolic, trolling ads. However, its reputation collapsed in a wave of humiliating scandals in 2021, including when one of its co-founders, John Weaver, was accused of sexually harassing more than 20 young men, one of whom was 14 at the time of the alleged harassment.

The Lincoln Project has come under increased criticism of late, but its leaders continue to hold to its original mission: defeating Trumpism.

The 2022 midterms may be headed to a Republican wave, but The Lincoln Project promises to stand in opposition, promises co-founder Reed Galen.

“Republican leaders have turned their backs on America — putting power and ambition above service. They’ve spent this year implementing an authoritarian political agenda in an effort to subvert democracy in 2022 and 2024,” Galen said.

“The Lincoln Project’s mission heading into 2022 is simple and direct: Defeat the Republican Party and their candidates in key states and Congressional districts.  .  .
