American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic-aligned super PAC known for opposition research, has introduced a public website it says is designed to help campaigns and the public navigate its research on Republican candidates ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
American Bridge 21st Century, a Democratic-aligned super PAC focused on opposition research, has launched a public platform it calls Research Books that it says will publish and organize its opposition research on Republican candidates ahead of the 2026 midterms.
According to POLITICO, the website is intended to make the group’s material easier to search and use by campaigns, influencers and voters in a media environment where political information often circulates through podcasts, social platforms and private messaging.
The group says the platform includes candidate profiles that compile items such as key votes, research memos, video from trackers and other materials formatted for political communications. POLITICO reports the site also includes an AI-powered search feature that draws on American Bridge’s internal repository of reporting and records and returns results that link back to source material.
In comments to POLITICO, American Bridge President Pat Dennis said the group is trying to make opposition research more accessible to the places where persuadable voters encounter political information. “Swing voters are generally speaking getting their information very ambiently,” Dennis said, adding, “If people can’t find it or read it, it’s no good.”
The effort follows earlier attempts by American Bridge to make research available publicly. In 2020, the group released a “Trump Research Book” online, describing it as a free, publicly accessible research hub on then-President Donald Trump.
For the initial rollout of Research Books, POLITICO reports the platform covers a set of House, Senate and state-level contests the group views as competitive, and that American Bridge plans to expand the number of candidates and races as the midterm cycle develops.
