The White House has been meeting with prospective opponents of Sen. Jeff Flake (R., Ariz.) in an apparent effort to put pressure on the senator, who has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump.
Flake refused to endorse Trump during the presidential campaign and said he could not attend the GOP convention because he had to "mow his lawn." Now, the Trump administration has had meetings with at least three prospective candidates to run against Flake in the Republican primary, Politico reports.
Flake is up for reelection in 2018 and is considered quite vulnerable.
Politico reports that Trump has talked to Arizona Treasurer Jeff DeWit at least twice. DeWit was a part of Trump's 2016 campaign. White House officials have also met with former state Sen. Kelli Ward and former Arizona GOP Chairman Robert Graham.
Trump has vocalized his dislike for Flake. Trump said at a rally towards the end of his presidential campaign that he would spend $10 million of his own money to help a challenger defeat Flake in 2018.

The Mormon Mafia destroyed my uncle and his family back in the ‘60s. Not a politician - just a small businessman who wouldn’t cave to the cult. They are powerful.
“We will respond accordingly.”
Which means vote his ass out. I figure he’ll pull a McCain and go all conservative with rhetoric before the election, win, and then return to his wicked ways. He’ll lie to save his job. It’s what McCain always does. He lies.
“We will respond accordingly.”
Which means vote his ass out.
That’s just for you out state rubes.
