A political consultant who sent artificial intelligence-generated robocalls mimicking President Joe Biden’s voice has made an initial court appearance in New Hampshire, where he is charged with voter suppression and impersonating a candidate ahead of the state’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

Steve Kramer speaks Wednesday, June 5, 2024, at superior court, in Laconia, N.H., during his arraignment in connection with charges of voter suppression and impersonating a candidate. Kramer, a political consultant who sent artificial intelligence-generated robocalls mimicking President Joe Biden's voice to voters ahead of New Hampshire's presidential primary faces more than two dozen criminal charges.

At Kramer's arraignment in Belknap County on Wednesday, Assistant Attorney General Brendan O'Donnell successfully argued that Kramer should be ordered to post $10,000 cash bail. He argued that the amount was necessary to ensure Kramer returns to court given that he travels frequently and maintains homes in multiple states.

“Obviously right now we're enjoying the presumption of innocence, we're going to review all the different charges and engage in discussions with the attorney general's office,” Reid said.
