GOP group the Lincoln Project says it raised $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2020 as it ramps up its anti-Trump efforts ahead of the general election.
In a filing with the Federal Election Commission posted Wednesday, the group said it spent $7.2 million and has $10.8 million cash on hand. It also owes more than $263,500 in debt.
Among the organization’s most prominent donors are billionaire hedge fund manager Stephen Mandel, who gave $1 million, business magnate David Geffen, who gave $100,000, and Bain Capital chairman Joshua Bekenstein, who also gave $100,000.
The Lincoln Project was founded late last year by Republicans disaffected with President Trump, including George Conway, husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, and GOP strategists Rick Wilson and Steve Schmidt, among me.
The group has focused much of its efforts on rapid response advertisements bashing the Trump White House on a slate of issues, including the administration’s response to the coronavirus, which has killed more people in the U.S. than any other country and is seeing a resurgence in many states.

Don’t miss the hilarious cartoon interview Colbert did that I posted earlier today (697) They zinged him pretty good several times, but he thought he’d recovered — here’s the link fast-forwarded to near the end where they lit him on fire: https://youtu.be/tNvuYPpX0C0?t=306
“Donate to these savvy grifters who ruined it (America) before but hope you don’t look into them”. Then leave him to “go hoover-up some more rube cash”.
This is just a preview he will be in November!
