Nevada is shaping up to be a battleground state for 2024, with Democrat Jacky Rosen’s Senate seat in play. One former Trump ambassador to Iceland has decided to throw his experience and influence into the fray. Dr. Jeff Gunter announced his candidacy on Monday, and has fully embraced and aligned himself with his former boss, making the gamble that, indictments or no, Trump will be the Republican nominee for president.

Gunter served as the U.S. ambassador to Iceland under former President Trump from 2019 to 2021 and joins former Nevada secretary of state candidate Jim Marchant and retired Army Capt. Sam Brown in the GOP primary to unseat Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.).
“I’m Jeff Gunter, and I’m running for U.S. Senate. I was honored and humbled to serve as President Trump’s ambassador to Iceland, where I fought the deep state, I fought China and I fought Russia’s influence in the Arctic in the great high north,” Gunter said in a more than three-minute campaign ad.
