Maybe you haven't heard of the Lincoln Project, but you've probably seen their ads. This high-profile group of Republicans does not like Donald Trump, and they've been spending plenty of time, money, and effort not only to let the public know how much they disapprove of the president but also to make sure Trump himself knows it. The ads are pretty punchy, too!
Are the Lincoln Project's ads, which people on Twitter seem to love, actually doing anything? That's questionable.
âI think [the ads] are helpful,â says Dan Pfeiffer, a former Obama aide who is now the co-host of Pod Save America. âI think they are not as helpful as a lot of people think. ⦠Negative ads can still work on Trump. But they have to introduce new information to people, and they have to reach people where they are.â
Recode's Peter Kafka explores the history and work of the Lincoln Project and wonders what it all means.
