Congressional Republicans intending to challenge election results will face a barrage of aggressive ads from a new left-leaning political coalition that aims to spend a war chest north of $10 million in the coming weeks.

In anticipation of a right-wing effort to meddle with election certification should Vice President Kamala Harris win Tuesday, major Democratic groups like the Center for American Progress and Indivisible, among others, are preparing a counterattack that could come into play in the 62-day gray zone between Election Day and Jan. 6 of next year.

The plan: An operation called the “House Accountability War Room,” which will blitz TV commercials and social media content directed specifically at any member of Congress whom Democrats perceive as trying to relitigate the election like they did in 2020.
