Former President Donald Trump endorsed Arizona Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake, urging voters to support her in the primary election against an “ultra-left” Democrat. Trump’s support for Lake was evident in a telephone call to her campaign, where he praised her as someone who would implement his agenda if she were to be elected. The primary election in Arizona featured Lake, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, and neuroscientist Elizabeth Jean Reye, with Lake being the favorite due to Trump’s endorsement and support from Republican organizations.
During the call, Trump criticized President Joe Biden, mispronounced Vice President Kamala Harris’ name, and expressed his support for Lake’s stance on issues such as sealing the border. He also denounced Democratic candidate Ruben Gallego as an “ultra-left winger.” Despite polls showing Gallego leading Lake, Trump remained confident in Lake’s chances in the race.
In addition to addressing political priorities, Trump also highlighted his own agenda, including lower energy prices, eliminating income tax on tips, and closing America’s borders. He also criticized the media and accused Democrats of orchestrating a “coup” against Biden. Overall, Trump’s call served as a rally for Lake and emphasized his support for her candidacy in the U.S. Senate race in Arizona against Gallego.
