ATLANTA — The Never Trump Lincoln Project released an ad on Wednesday urging voters to give the Senate majority to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) by voting for Georgia Senate Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
The Lincoln Project released the ad, titled “On the Ballot,” which asks Georgia voters to consider voting against Sens. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) and David Perdue (R-GA).
The Never Trump organization claimed in its press release that voting for Warnock and Ossoff would help mitigate the coronavirus outbreak.
“Votes for Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff ensure America can get Covid-19 under control and get people back to work and kids back to school as quickly and safely as possible,” the press release read.
The ad will air in major Georgia markets such as Albany and Augusta.
Reed Galen, a cofounder of the Lincoln Project, said in a statement on Wednesday:
Georgians have a unique opportunity to remind Americans just how little Republicans worry about anything other than their own prospects — political, personal, and financial. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue obeying Mitch McConnell’s agenda mean Americans withstanding another four years of lying, distrust, and failed leadership with him in power.
The Lincoln Project has worked for months to oust Republican senators and give Democrats control of the Senate majority.
Never Trump Republicans believed that preventing a second term for President Donald Trump was insufficient and that Senate Republicans must also pay the price of backing the 45th president.
The Lincoln Project launched ahead of the 2020 elections six-figure ad buys against Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA), Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Martha McSally (R-AZ).
Steve Schmidt, who works for the Never Trump Lincoln Project, said in July, “The analogy would be in the same way that fire

The media is already positioning the narrative to blame Trump if the GOP loses.
“I did...it looked like more like a hit piece. Puzzled by it.”
I consider it a listing of facts. Lin Wood gave money to Democrats in 2014, including Purdue’s OPPONENT. I understand party switching in the South due to what the Democrats became, that that all happened in the 1990s. What was Lin Wood’s REASON for supporting Democrats, any Democrats, until 2014. I sure as hell can’t come up with one.
“The media is already positioning the narrative to blame Trump if the GOP loses.”
They can try, but it will be Trump’s VOTERS, who chose to listen to Lin Wood over TRUMP HIMSELF.
Trump has done nothing to undercut the Georgia Republicans...unlike Wood. And Trump will have RALLIES in Georgia, starting Saturday to try to neutralize the damage from Lin Wood. I sure hope Trump is successful...but so far very few of his supporters seem to give a crap about what he says.
I would rather have 100 Lin Woods than one John Kaesich.
“I’m with the Never Trumpers - that’s why I’m telling everyone NOT to vote in the Georgia Senate elections!!!!”
Suicide is an ineffective form of protest.
The Lin Wood/Sidney Powell presser-rally was overwhelmingly pro-Trump. I think Lin Wood was indeed speaking off cuff...no prompters.
I think the never Trumpers are attempting to jap Trump’s legal team. I think it’s an attempt to demoralize, demonize.
Just my lil ol pinion. Furthermore, Jay Sekulow is a close confidant and part of Trump’s legal team. He’z as serious and competent as you can find.
Not worried about the Breitbart jap.
Wood is speaking the truth. Unless the GOP leadership in GA supports Trump in his election fraud fight, Trump voters will not turnout for the runoff. That is a fact not a threat.
The RINO project. They have worked so hard to take Trump out.
“I think Lin Wood was indeed speaking off cuff...no prompters.”
I would agree with you, EXCEPT that he’s doing it on a regular basis and DESPITE being slapped-down by Trump last Friday.
It’s tough to see any motive other than wanting to hand the country to the Democrats...and neither can Trump, for that matter.
“Trump gave money to Dems.”
Trump did it when he was building in NYC, for obvious reasons, and Trump was NOT doing that with national Democrats, certainly not in 2014. Lin needs to explain why he thought a Democrat Senate under Obama was better for the country than a Republican Senate.
...but why should he explain it, it seems that he’s got enough Republicans drinking his Kool-Aid to hand the elections over to the Marxists anyway.
“I would rather have 100 Lin Woods than one John Kaesich.”
After what Trump has done for the country and all the crap he’s been though, if Trump says to vote for the Georgia Republicans, that’s certainly good enough for me...regardless of what Lin Wood is demanding.
“If Trump supports a rattlesnake I will vote for the slitherin bastard”
LOVE IT!!! But sad - we were willing to walk on glass for Trump, but we (or at least lots of conservatives) tell Trump to shove when it comes to supporting the candidates he recommends.
It is so frustrating. It’s worse that they are so bold about it. I swear the media is the worst thing for America. They’ve done more to destroy America then nancy pelosi even can fathom.
I’m in Georgia and I’m clearly going to vote, but there is nothing I can personally do about the fake ballots that will be counted in Fulton County. I see nothing being put in place to stop it.
Why aren't Perdue and Loeffler calling for these action items? They were on the ballot on Nov 3. Why aren't Kemp, SOS, and Rep controlled legislature calling for more action and supporting Trump's case?
Wood's motivations and past voting record are irrelevant when it comes to supporting Trump. Tweet from Wood:
1. Breitbart is dishonest. Historically, I am nonpartisan. This year, I was partisan because I love @realDonaldTrump.
I donated $375K to Trump PAC. @sendavidperdue solicited a $25K donation & I gave it to him. I gave $5,600 to @RepDougCollins & hosted a fundraiser for him.
2. I estimate that I have given WINRED $10K+ this year. I have donated several thousand dollars to other Republican candidates & $150K to conservative PAC for congressional candidates.
3. I gave $5,000 at a fundraiser in which @RichardGrenell spoke. That is all I can remember at the moment.
How did Brietbart miss these facts? Guess some people do not want the fraud in GA election to be discovered. I did not donate to. @BrianKempGA.
I’m with TRUMP on the Georgia election, which means go out and vote...regardless of what the candidates say or do.
OBVIOUSLY others are against Trump.
I don’t understand this stuff... Why doesn’t the Repub party kick them out of the party? I can understand staying uninvolved cause the guy’s a bad pick or something, but to actively campaign FOR the Dem? WHY would you keep people like that in your party?
This is supposedly a list of Lin Wood’s political donations for a decade or more. Looks pretty much republican or conservative with exception of a couple for Obozo.
He sure was involved in tons of Democrat Primaries, at a time when Democrats weren’t even winning elections.
