The Lincoln Project, a GOP anti-Trump group, on Wednesday launched a $4 million ad buy targeting Senate contests in Maine, Alaska and Montana.
The buy, which was first reported by Axios, will air for seven to 10 days in key markets in the three states.
The ads in Alaska and Maine express support for challengers to Republican incumbent Sens. Steve Daines (Mont.) and Dan Sullivan (Alaska). The spots are dubbed “Real” in Alaska and “Strong” in Montana. The group endorsed Democrat Al Gross in its ad in Alaska ahead of the state’s Democratic and independent primary on Aug. 18.
Meanwhile, in Maine, the group is airing an ad titled “Trump Stooge,” which targets incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.
“We’re moving into the active phase of the fall campaign as voters, stuck at home because of COVID-19, tune in earlier than ever,” the group’s communications director Keith Edwards told Axios.
The National Republican Senatorial Campaign committee hit the group over the ads in a statement on Wednesday, taking aim specifically at Collins’s opponent, Maine House Speaker Sara Gideon (D).
