Oct 13, 2023

This week, the Congressional Integrity Project a new paid digital ad campaign in the eighteen Republican House districts across the country that were won by President Biden in 2020. The ads call on the Biden 18 to stop focusing on the evidence-free impeachment of President Biden and instead focus on the priorities that matter most to Americans across the country.

These ads are part of a months-long seven-figure advocacy campaign, run by the Congressional Integrity Project, to hold Republicans accountable for ignoring critical priorities and instead, focusing on bogus investigations and an impeachment inquiry to hurt President Biden and help Donald Trump return to the White House.
