Former President Trump endorsed Kari Lake, an ardent supporter of his, in the Arizona Senate race on Tuesday evening.
“When I’m back in the White House, I need strong fighters like Kari in the Senate. She is a fighter. She’s strong and she’s good. She’s got a great heart by the way,” Trump said in a video posted on his Truth Social platform.
“I will need a majority in the House and in the Senate. We have to have a big strong majority to help me push our America first agenda through and to push it through really fast – that starts right here tonight by helping Kari Lake win in Arizona and she will win too,” he added.
Lake officially announced on Tuesday that she is running for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-Ariz.) seat next fall after filing paperwork last week. Her entry was widely expected, and Republicans say she’s seen as the heavy favorite to win the GOP primary against Republican Mark Lamb.
Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is running on the Democratic side while Sinema has largely stayed mum about her reelection plans.
