Former President Donald Trump urged Arizona Republicans to support U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake in a race against a Democratic opponent. Trump expressed his confidence in Lake during a phone call for her campaign, highlighting her as the best candidate to implement his plans for a second term. He criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he repeatedly mispronounced. The primary election in Arizona ends soon, with Lake as the GOP favorite due to Trump’s endorsement and support from various Republican organizations.
Trump praised Lake’s stance on issues such as border security, energy independence, and America-first policies. He criticized Democratic contender Ruben Gallego as an “ultra-left” extremist and expressed confidence in Lake’s ability to defeat him. Despite polls showing Gallego leading Lake, Trump remained optimistic about her chances in the race.
Trump’s call served as a rally for Lake, where he outlined his own priorities and attacked his political opponents. He emphasized the need for a strong Republican candidate to support his agenda and criticized the Democratic party’s actions regarding Biden and Harris. Overall, Trump’s endorsement and support for Lake could play a significant role in the outcome of the Arizona Senate race.
