Formerly called | Republican Voters Against Trump Republican Accountability Project |
Republican Accountability (RA), formerly Republican Accountability Project (RAP) and, for the 2024 presidential election, Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), is a political initiative launched in May 2020 by Defending Democracy Together for the 2020 U.S. presidential election cycle. The project was formed to produce a US$10 million advertising campaign focused on 100 testimonials by Republicans, conservatives, moderates, right-leaning independent voters, and former Trump voters explaining why they would not vote for Donald Trump in 2020. By August 2020, they had collected 500 testimonials.
On January 29, 2021, it transitioned to the Republican Accountability Project (RAP), which focuses on defending "Republican principles", and attacking Republicans whom they hold responsible for the January 6 United States Capitol attack. The organization purchased ad campaigns to criticize members of the Republican Party, particularly those allegedly involved in the attack.
