A group led by former New Jersey GOP Gov. Christine Todd Whitman said Friday it would be spending “at least” $10 million on a digital, television, and direct mail campaign in key states with the intent of defeating President Donald J. Trump in his bid for re-election.
“Millions of lifelong Republicans who have voted Republican in every presidential election are ashamed of Donald Trump’s lack of decency and incompetence,” Whitman, the former director of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under George W. Bush and national chairwoman of the Steering Committee for Republicans and Independents for Biden. Her group is one of several composed of one-time GOP elected officials and political consultants who are engaged in efforts to stop Mr. Trump from winning a second term.

The campaign will be surgically targeted, the groups said in a release, to suburban voters, particularly suburban women who, it claimed, “have been fleeing the Republican party in droves” over concerns for Mr. Trump’s character and his lack of empathy for the American middle class.
“His refusal to follow the science has led to over 200,000 American lives lost to the pandemic and voters across the country know it. Republicans and Independents For Biden will spend the rest of this election letting Republican voters know that it is okay to set our partisan differences aside in this election and vote for the only decent, experienced, leader on the ballot,” Whitman – who was twice elected governor of New Jersey with less than 50 percent of the vote said.
The group’s first ad in the campaign, “Daughters,” will initially begin appearing in the battleground states of Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Arizona almost immediately across multiple platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, and television streaming services.
Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Arizona are all home to pockets of suburban women who voted for Trump in 2016 but, according to polls the group conducted for the ad campaign women, “are not only concerned about his glaring character deficiencies, but also his incompetent and inadequate response in addressing the coronavirus.”
According to its release, Whitman’s organization is “affiliated with and paid for by The Lincoln Project,” a group formed by high-profile GOP operatives, several of whom are veterans of the McCain presidential campaign. The group has been criticized by many regular Republicans for taking multiple, large dollar contributions from Democrats and for expanding its efforts into campaigns for the U.S. Senate with the intent of flipping control of the body to the Democrats in the 2020 election.
Among those involved in The Lincoln Project are former McCain presidential campaign senior strategist Steve Schmidt, former McCain and John Kasich for President aide John Weaver, former Evan McMullin strategist Rick Wilson, and Jennifer Horn, the one-time chairman of the New Hampshire State Republican Party.

Ashamed my foot! They are afraid they may be caught or stopped from some activity that is not allowed.
Probably the Child Sex Traffickers are mad because Trump is squashing their business.
Is anyone surprised by this? If there was a book of how to act a fool and deceive the American people, this would simply be another chapter.
And so all you AntiTrump SOBs are perfectly happy electing people who will destroy America? Don’t bother calling yourselves Republicans if your hatred is so bad that it blinds you to the harm on the other side. Why don’t you take those millions and spend it in helping others.
Agree 💯%. If you love the U.S.A. and see what the democrats are trying to do to this country, everything ungodly, you cannot in good conscience vote for Harris/Biden. You are not a Republican. Article is full of lies. All I see is blind rage. Shameful.
Agreed!
Trump is hurting their illegal income.
This Anti-Trumper from N.J. should get together with the other spenders (or should I say Republican funds wasters) are ready to spend millions to oust one of the Presidents who has kept his campaign promises. A Covid Pox On Them All for giving the Left exactly what they want and trying to destroy this Nation.
These are supposed to be Republicans. Trump is the most popular President within his own party, no matter the party since Dwight Eisenhower! Therefore these Republican leaders are working against the 90+% of Republican Party members to try and get their most popular President in 60+ years! They technically can’t be Republicans if they hate the person who is most popular with Republicans and instead support the Democrat nominee! There is no logic path they can go down to explain this fact except to say they are Democrats and do not believe in the party principles that they pretend to embrace. To support a guy running on a socialist platform shows there is no real concern about policies that makes them choose a candidate but there is a deep loyalty to a deep state construct where they appear to be much more comfortable. This is an excellent learning experience for all in the Republican Party or any political party to witness how the things that these people say they stand for can be discarded in a second for what they are really all about, which is a structured governmental institution where principles do not matter and going along does. I personally could never vote for, much less support a party espousing what the Dems are pushing these days, but apparently I am not a former party leader. When Trump accomplishes what all these frauds claimed to want to accomplish he becomes the thing they hate, showing that they never had any intention of following through on the promises they made when running for office! It is disgusting!
their problem is President Trump is not a part of their good ole boy network
I hope the ten million+ is just totally wasted!

Shame on them. Woulf love to know who theu are.
The only thing to be ashamed of, is their behavior and their fake reasoning for going against Trump. Obviously, these people, if they really do exist have something to hide or don’t want him to drain the swamp and find their own personal corruption, when they were in office!!
Donating money THEY stole from the American people to defeat Trump who is the person exposing their theft.
I would love to know how they can say he is incompetent when he has done more for our country in 3.5 years than any professional politician has done in their entire career! He runs circles around them! We, the American people, see it, know it and benefit from it!
Swamp Creatures
She has a point about Trump’s style and personality, not somebody I would want to hang with very often. But when she brings up The China Virus she sounds pretty unintelligent. I have some experience in plagues and can’t imagine ANYONE who could do as much as he has. I have been amazed at his energy and intuition dealing with a completely unknown virus. Deep study on his part is obvious from his knowledge of tiny details of something he had of something not in his work history. Step away from the CNN screen for your intellectual safety, Gov. Whitman.
I am disgusted !! So much for party loyalty all because Trump is a different kind of politician. He is the kind of politician that we Americans decided that we needed and wanted precisely because he is not like the rest you old school politicians. He is unique, he is straight forward and spares no words and wastes no time, he calls it as he sees it and we feel like he really cares how we feel. He isn’t like any of you and we like it , we hired him to get a job done and he has done it and he wants to do more. You are wasting your money and burning your bridges in your attempt to keep him from being re-elected.
Environmental Protection Agency tax payers money laundering agency.
There is absolutely no difference, zero, between democrats and establishment republicans/RINOs. They feed on the same slop from the same trough, and all on our dime.
I don’t believe there are anywhere close to “millions” ashamed of Donald Trump. There are probably several dozen RINOs with deep pockets and bank accounts filled with money they came into in backroom closed door deals that they are TERRIFIED Trump will uncover They live every moment of their lives in fear now… trembling that their evil deeds and actions are going to be revealed for the whole world to see. The evil and corruption runs deep on both sides and when it starts coming out, MANY families who have enjoyed preference and privilege will be cast into the new roles of most disgusting and most disdained.
Trump may be mean spirited when speaking about people who hate or dislike him. However, I see it like this: You lie and talk crap about me or my family, the gloves come off and you better be prepared for all the $%!# I’m about to say about and to you. As of this day, I have not had so much hatred for the Democratic party (I used to be a democrat) for all the lies and under-handedness they have done to attempt to get Trump out of office. And for former Republicans to turn their backs on their own party?, you will get your just deserves sooner or later. Karma and God have a way of punishing. It may be weeks, months or sometimes years but, you will pay and pay dearly!! I am part of the “middle-class” and I am proud to say that I voted Trump and will vote Trump again. I LOVE being an American and living the American dream. What these liberals, socialist, communist, radicals, BLM and Antifa supporters have done to this Country is a Disgrace. I honestly don’t believe BLM because ALL LIVES MATTER!!!! If BLM mattered more that any other race, there wouldn’t be so many black on black killing and crime.
Black lives matter, Black Lives Matter doesn’t.
The Deep State has no bounds. The donation just confirms how deep the corruption goes. Perhaps the Communist policy of infiltrate and corrupt form within has been a long standing policy of the Operatives ?
Some more BS from the RINO’s again!
“Lincoln Project” is a bunch of butt hurt Democrat Style Republicans who buy a lot from China. They’re China-Dot-RINO’s.
Too bad they are not donating the money to charity instead of just throwing it away.
If anyone needs to know why they must vote for Trump it is shenanigans like this–disgruntled ex Republicans, funded by Democrats, want to keep the good times rolling– and Trump stands in their way.
The establishment elites from both parties have been ripping off the American public more and more over the last 50 years. That is why our lower classes now get less of the national income than before, and the elites get a larger slice. They have rigged the tax code and business regulations to help themselves and take from us.
The fact that those elites hate Trump is proof that Trump is doing a great job–for us–against them. The more they attack him the more we know he’s right for us!
Eff you, RINO ctw, EFF YOU!!!
The Deep State runs… well, deep.
ExGop is correct, they are out of our party forever!
This person is a blithering idiot leading a pack of fools willing to believe anything. Let’s break it down for the dummy’s. You don’t have to like Trumps brashness. He is never coming to your home for dinner, he don’t want to hang out with y’all. Look at the policy DO YOUR RESEARCH! I can’t stress this enough democrats own the media, Soros owns the democrats. You have corruption that used a false narrative to impeach a sitting president. Mueller and his team have been caught they purposely destroyed evidence the fact that anyone would vote against Trump is too stupid to see that the democrats are working on taking away your rights. And FYI those people rioting and burning your towns, are democrats and supporting them is the DNC. which further proves they don’t give a shit about honest taxpayers.
they should be ashamed for there actions for being rich assholes that are only interested in themselves not the people of this country
Christy et al, the losers club rife with hatred, jealousy and cowardice.Makes me think that members of the Lincoln Project are part of the Ukraine train. You have shamed one of our great Republican Presidents, Abraham Lincoln.All is see are RINOs acting like cowards and protective of traitors. So spend on and on, the more money the less the impact. The Trumpian landslide displays itself on Nov.3.
These are NOT “Republicans.” They are leftists who have been masquerading as conservatives, i.e., WOLVES in sheep’s clothing….and they are DANGEROUS!!!!! Deceitful!!!! and Devious!!!!!!!!
Pathetic woman left behind by the march of history. Whitman likes it when mainstream media gives her a platform. She then takes it with gusto. Good for her when it goes her way; but usually the system works against her. The times require her to choose sides and she has failed to do the honorable thing; namely, to bite the bullet and help this remarkable Trump administration work against conservative recalcitrance and the treachery of Obama administration leftovers. Once you get past the media hype you realize that the lines are so clearly drawn. Limit exercise of centralized Washington DC power and favor the federal system contemplated by the founding fathers.Leave regulation of nearby environmental issues to the locals who have the most at stake and the greatest ability to limit the damage.
Many millions of Republicans and Democrats are sick of the government sucking them dry while making its employees and elected officials rich. Trump is moving to staunch this and deserves4 more years to attack the swamp. Whitman and her cadre of losers are working to get back on the taxpayer dole.
