Tonight, Dan Bishop, who made a name for himself in Congress as an election denier and someone who fought against reproductive freedom whenever possible, lost his election bid to be the next attorney general of North Carolina.
In response, American Bridge spokesperson Philip Shulman released the following statement:
“One of Congress’s most extreme MAGA cult members — Dan Bishop — has been a stain on North Carolina for far too long, and voters recognized the threat he posed to the rule of law as they delivered him a blistering defeat. Dan Bishop is a disgrace. His attempts to undermine democracy, take away women’s rights, and always be the loudest extremist in the room were outright rejected by North Carolinians who are ready to turn the page on his extremism.
