While a guest on Bannon's podcast on Tuesday, Marchant spoke of a Republican "coalition" of secretary of state candidates nationally that includes Kristina Karamo in Michigan and Mark Finchem in Arizona. He has touted endorsements from former President Donald Trump, Representative Jim Jordan, Representative Andy Biggs, Representative Paul Gosar, and the House Freedom Caucus. On his website, Marchant says he was "a victim of election fraud" when running for Congress in 2020. Marchant has been described by Politico as a "leading proponent of the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen." If elected, Nevada's elections could shift dramatically due to the elimination of mail-in voting, decreased early voting, and a change that could include hand counts of ballots. Since the news of his sentencing, he has hosted Alex Jones, Pennsylvania state Representative Frank Ryan, Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano and Nevada secretary of state candidate Jim Marchant. He was initially found guilty on two counts in July, but his punishment is much lighter than the six-month prison sentence and $200,000 fine sought by the Department of Justice. Outspoken conservative firebrand Steve Bannon has hosted at least four election deniers on his War Room podcast since being sentenced in October for contempt of Congress.īannon's sentence includes four months in prison in addition to a $6,500 fine.
