CBSN
Republican Jim Marchant, a vocal election denier who lost his race to be Nevada's top election official in 2022, is running for Senate against incumbent Democrat Sen. Jacky Rosen.
Marchant was one of many 2020 Republican candidates for secretary of state who promoted unfounded claims of fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He was part of Nevada's alternate slate of false, pro-Trump electors who challenged results of the election. Marchant has said he wouldn't have certified President Joe Biden's victory.
He announced his Senate bid Tuesday night at Fervent Church in Las Vegas. The church's pastor fought Nevada's COVID lockdowns in 2020. Marchant was introduced by longtime political strategist Dick Morris, who will be running Marchant's campaign as a general consultant.
