Meme group joins with Lincoln Project in new campaign against Trump
The group Meme 2020 is partnering with The Lincoln Project, a prominent Republican group opposing President Trumps reelection, with a new campaign targeting young voters through popular Instagram accounts.
Meme 2020 made its first foray into politics earlier this year with a push backing Michael Bloombergs presidential campaign, but its latest project, which launched this week, is instead focusing on a broader voter mobilization effort.
Meme 2020 is sort of laser focussed on sort of building up this new medium that has been kind of undeveloped in political advertising, said Ryan Patrick Kelley, chief of staff of Meme 2020.
Partnering with The Lincoln Project, he said, seemed natural given the spotlight the anti-Trump GOP group has garnered in recent months. The Lincoln Project is run by Republicans opposed to Trump, including George Conway, the Washington, D.C., lawyer married to White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
