Liberals’ national campaign director Jeremy Broadhurst resigns

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is suddenly without the assistance of one of his longest advisers just as the threat of being forced into an early election has been heightened. Jeremy Broadhurst resigned as the Liberal Party of Canada’s national campaign director today, one day after NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh ended the agreement supporting […]

Broadhurst was national director of the Liberal Party of Canada from 2013 to 2015 and helped retool the Liberal data machine into an operation that helped them win the 2015 election. He worked in the Prime Minister’s Office after the 2015 win, and in 2019 was elevated to campaign director. He returned to the campaign director post for the 2023 election a year ago, but gave up the post Thursday. RECOMMENDED VIDEO The next election has to be held by next fall, but with the Liberal-NDP confidence and supply agreement no longer in place, the odds are higher that the government will be voted down in Parliament before then. The Liberals have trailed the Conservatives in polls by double-digits for almost a year and would lose if an election were held now.
