On the news that election conspiracy theorist Jim Marchant announced his 2024 campaign for the U.S. Senate, American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Aidan Johnson released the following statement:
“In 2022, Nevadans rejected Jim Marchant’s anti-democracy agenda and sided with free, fair, and accessible elections. Marchant is an anti-abortion rights election conspiracy theorist, and despite his embarrassing loss, he still poses a serious threat to our freedoms and the integrity of our democracy. He is unfit for office and American Bridge will be working around the clock to make sure he gets nowhere near Nevada’s U.S. Senate seat.”
American Bridge’s research on Marchant was decisive in 2022, and will play an even larger role in defining his extremism ahead of the contentious Republican primary:
