Conspiracy theorist, Trump acolyte, and self-proclaimed Rightful Governor of Arizona Kari Lake won the state’s GOP primary for the open Senate seat being vacated by Kyrsten Sinema, who decided she just wasn’t into the Senate, NBC News declared. Lake will face popular Democrat Ruben Gallego, who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.
Early on in the highly contested GOP primary for the 8th Congressional District seat, Trump-endorsed Republican Abraham Hamadeh, an election-denying MAGA early adopter, holds an early lead against Trump-endorsed Thielian Blake Masters, who lost the last Arizona Senate race to Mark Kelly. With about two-thirds of the vote in, Hamadeh holds 29.9% to Masters’ 23.4%.
And that’s not a typo: Trump endorsed both Hamadeh and Masters, saying on his failing social media site, “They will both be spectacular, and I’m pleased to announce that both Blake Masters and Abe Hamadeh have my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Congressman of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District — THEY WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN!”
