IA-SEN: The Lincoln Project Setting Their Sights On Joni Ernst In Final Month
A prominent political action committee of Republicans devoted to defeating President Donald Trump and his “enablers” said they’re looking with renewed focus at Sen. Joni Ernst’s race with 31 days until the election.
The Lincoln Project, founded and run by right-leaning political strategists and figures who aim to hold “Trump and Trumpism accountable at the ballot box,” has deemed Ernst’s Senate seat as one of the nation’s most vulnerable.
Set to advertise next week in Iowa at a “pretty substantial rate,” one of the PAC’s co-founders said his concern with the first-term senator up for reelection is her blind support for the President in the face of COVID-19 and his inability to denounce white supremacists, as well as Ernst’s ACA votes.
“Ernst is a perfect example of Trumpism, which is in her silence and her deeds, she has been willing to put up with all the stuff that is fundamentally un-American, undemocratic, incompetent, wrong, amoral when it comes to Trump because she’s afraid of the mean tweet or the nickname,” said Lincoln Project co-Founder Reed Galen in an interview with Iowa Starting Line.
