Marchant endorsed false election claims including that all Nevada elected officials since 2006 had been “installed by the deep-state cabal.”

Pastor Jimmy Morales, left, prays over Jim Marchant at an event to announce Marchant’s candidacy for the U.S Senate seat in Nevada, Tuesday, May 2, 2023, in Las Vegas. LAS VEGAS — Jim Marchant, a Nevada Republican who led a movement of candidates who promoted Donald Trump’s lies of a stolen 2020 election, announced Tuesday that he will run for the U.S. Senate against Democratic incumbent Jacky Rosen in the swing state.

Marchant, 66, has been a fierce supporter of Trump and describes himself as a “MAGA conservative.” He’s the first major Republican to challenge Rosen, a first-term moderate. Rosen, 65, was president of a prominent Jewish synagogue before defeating GOP Sen. Dean Heller in 2018. She has not drawn a party challenger since announcing last month that she would seek reelection in the perennial battleground state.

For the 2024 race, national Republicans are recruiting Sam Brown, a retired Army captain who finished second in last year’s GOP Senate primary, according to a GOP strategist who works on Senate races. The strategist, who was not authorized to discuss the effort publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Republicans in Washington like Brown’s ability to raise money from the party’s grassroots and his profile as a war hero.

The Nye County effort was ultimately conducted alongside machines due to state regulations, a string of lawsuits and concerns from the Republican Nevada secretary of state, who was censured by the party for pushing back against false claims of widespread election fraud.
