Republican political consultant on the midterm election & the rise and then demise of The Lincoln Project
Description
Mike Madrid, GOP political consultant and co-founder of The Lincoln Project, joins CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane ahead of the midterm elections. He explains how the Latino vote is critical in many competitive races across the country, how Republicans have made inroads with the Hispanic population and why he thinks ticket splitting on Election Day is a good sign. Madrid also discusses how The Lincoln Project came together in an effort to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, how tension among the group's founders led to their separation and responds to criticism of the organization. Madrid is featured in the Showtime documentary series "The Lincoln Project," which chronicles the organization during the 2020 election. Showtime is a division of Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS News.
