WASHINGTON, D.C.- During Nebraska's tumultuous 2022 GOP primary election, former President Donald Trump sought out new challengers to face Rep. Don Bacon. Although Trump's plans to oust the congressman didn't come to fruition, the Lincoln Project, a center-right political advocacy group, is now setting its sights on Rep. Bacon.

The Lincoln Project, already infamous for attacking pro-Trump Republicans, called on Bacon, as well as 17 other swing-district representatives, to denounce the "threats to democracy posed by Trump and his supporters." The Lincoln Project said that its goal with these attacks is to sway 18 House members away from populist Republican ideology ad ultimately "make them unelectable."

"If you want to still call yourself a Republican after all of the things that Trump has said and done," said Reed Galen, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, "you have to take a stand."
