The Lincoln Project is doing more than just lambasting President Trump for every decision he makes. It's also bringing in massive amounts of fundraising dollars — $39 million in the third quarter of 2020, to be exact.
Federal Election Commission reports released Wednesday reveal the Republican-led effort to oust Trump and other top Republicans had its most profitable quarter from July 1 to September 30 of this year. In the six months prior, it brought in about $19 million, but brought in more than double that total in the last fundraising quarter before the election.
