Members of the Lincoln Project, a group of current and former Republicans dedicated to the downfall of former President Donald Trump, are now trying to sack Texas Gov.

Greg Abbott.

The group has secured a $25,000 ad buy that blasts Abbott for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Greg Abbott is the exemplar of someone who once had principles and has abandoned them,” said Reed Galen, co-founded of the Lincoln Project and is a native Texan.

“We’ve taken a hard look at [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott because they are the next generation of what you’re going to see from Republican leaders.”.

He added that Abbott should also allow for local control on issues involving the pandemic, including letting school districts decide whether to implement mask mandates to protect against the virus.

“Moms and dads...they want their kids to go to school.

Galen said Abbott’s handling of the pandemic reflects that next generation of Trump-style politics.

Though it’s unlikely that the Lincoln Project would back Huffines or West, members say they will consider opposing Abbott in the general election.

“Abbott is not used to taking a punch right to the face,” Galen said.
