Having successfully taken down Glenn Youngkin in Virginia, the Lincoln Project sets their sights on J.D. Vance's GOP Senate campaign in Ohio

We’re still trying to wrap our brains around Terry McAuliffe’s loss to Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia gubernatorial race. How could McAuliffe possibly have lost after the Lincoln Project spent all that money on his campaign and purportedly came up with the genius idea to plant some fake white supremacist outside Youngkin’s bus (and possibly plant a dude in a Confederate flag jacket at a Youngkin rally)?

It really is a mystery.

But the Lincoln Project can’t afford to take the time to contemplate where it all went wrong. They need to push forward, because there’s still so much work to be done in order to defeat Donald Trump.

Like in Ohio, where J.D. Vance is running for the GOP nomination to U.S. Senate.

JD Vance could be Ohio’s Youngkin — a Trumpist who will don a fleece vest and pretend he’s something he’s not.

Vance has admittedly become a pretty big fan of Trump’s philosophy, at least outwardly. But we’re not sure that the Lincoln Project’s resources are best spent on taking down Vance.

Then again, the Lincoln Project isn’t known for being particularly careful or discerning when it comes to spending suckers’ money. Still, who are we to stand in their way? In our minds, the Lincoln Project can never debase themselves enough, so we’re more than happy to let them make complete asses of themselves in Ohio, too.
