A shadowy Democrat group has boosted fringe candidates to siphon votes from swing district Republicans, according to the Associated Press (AP).
Many unorthodox candidates have run against battleground Republicans, all of whom the same shadowy group, Patriots Run Project, has backed.
The group has recruited supporters of former President Donald Trump to run as independent candidates in swing districts in Nebraska, Montana, Virginia, Minnesota, and Iowa. Many of the candidates have described themselves as retired, disabled, or both.
The AP found in its investigation that some of its funding originates from Democrat consulting firms.
Joseph Weiderien, a strong Trump supporter, said, “At that time I was thinking, well, it would be nice to be in Congress and get to work with President Trump. It looks like it’s a dirty trick now.”
Weiderien said he had been manipulated into running against Rep. Zach Nunn, a first-term Republican in Iowa. He has since withdrawn his candidacy.
