Former White House communications director, noted political and digital strategist, and Pod Save America co-host, APB's Dan Pfeiffer says the Lincoln Project is masterful at going viral during campaign season. The vast majority of ads the Lincoln Project has released thus far are unlikely to move a single voter, and that isn’t what they were designed to do. In his recent Crooked article, Pfeiffer says the Lincoln Project ads only appeal to a certain subset of people and maybe not the voting Democrats specifically. “There is no question that the Lincoln Project is playing a role in shifting media narratives against Trump by releasing punchy, emotionally evocative spots responding to Trump within the same news cycles. The fact that these attacks come from Republicans widely respected by the political press corps make them even more influential. This is of great value and shouldn’t be dismissed.”

Nobel Laureate and APB speaker President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was recently selected for the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response (IPPR) to evaluate the world’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Known as “Africa’s Iron Lady,” Johnson Sirleaf earned international acclaim for leading Liberia through the Ebola Crisis and through reconciliation and recovery following her nation’s decade-long civil war. “Prime Minister Clark and President Sirleaf were selected through a process of broad consultation with Member States and world experts. I cannot imagine two more strong-minded, independent leaders to help guide us through this critical learning process.” said Dr. Tedros in his speech.
