Kurt Olsen

Kurt Olsen is a former Missouri state representative who ran for U.S. Senate in 2022. He gained attention recently due to his involvement with President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Olsen was appointed by Trump as a member of the presidential advisory council on election integrity and had meetings with top administration lawyers to discuss investigating the 2020 vote. The FBI's raid on the Fulton County election office in January was reportedly influenced by debunked claims from election deniers, including those associated with Olsen's efforts. His involvement highlights the ongoing influence of Trump's base in shaping the Republican Party's stance on election integrity and voter fraud allegations.
