“It has been two years since we made our public debut, and I can honestly say that I have never been more optimistic about the opportunity in front of us. We broke records on Election Night,” said Chris Pavlovski, chairman and CEO of Rumble.

“The American people have spoken. Cancel culture is dead. Free speech is now mainstream, and Rumble is in the driver’s seat with the best lineup of independent creators with the best economics.”
