A group of anti-Trump Republicans said they will campaign for vulnerable Democrats and other centrists in a bid to prevent the Republican Party from seizing back control of Congress in the 2022 midterms.
In a statement Thursday, the group, known as the Renew America Movement (RAM), said they were fighting to safeguard US democracy and the Constitution from the GOP.
"There is an urgent effort by Republicans and former Republicans to stem the tide of anti-democratic and lie-based Republican leaders in Congress before it's too late," RAM said in an announcement on Twitter.
Despite leaving office under a cloud of scandal following the Capitol riot, Trump has maintained his grip over the Republican Party, with many senior members of the party continuing to push his conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen from him by fraud.
It includes 11 Democrats facing tough battles for re-election, and nine Republicans, including high-profile Republican Trump critic Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who voted to impeach Trump over his role in the January 6 Capitol riot.
Between this little nugget, and Donald Trump telling Republicans not to vote in 2022, the midterm elections might be better for the Dem's than many predict. 🙂
