rizona Gov. Doug Ducey declared in January 2021 that he was “100 percent” focused on his current job and uninterested in a bid for Senate. But speculation among state political insiders that Ducey is plotting a late entry into the Senate race has escalated in recent weeks — a development that would scramble a contest that is pivotal to the battle for the Senate majority.
The term-limited Republican governor, now in his last year of office, has not said anything publicly that suggests he has changed his mind. The Aug. 2 GOP primary to take on Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly is well underway as state Attorney General Mark Brnovich, venture capitalist Blake Masters, solar power executive Jim Lamon and state emergency leader Mick McGuire compete for the nomination, a race that has already generated millions of dollars in Republican ad spending.
Ducey’s final State of the State address on Monday, however, left the Arizona State Capitol Complex abuzz after the governor used the speech to repeatedly criticize the federal government. His address included six mentions of Washington, D.C., along with sustained attacks on President Joe Biden and his administration — the kind of broadsides more likely to come from a candidate for federal office than a governor outlining his final state legislative agenda.

But they REALLY REALLY want him to run for the Senate.
But he's an Establishment tool. He listened to McConnell and appointed loser Martha McSally to the Senate, who went on to lose again.
Similarly, Governor Kemp of Georgia listened to McConnell and appointed Loser Loeffler, who also went on to lose again.
Ducey is done as governor (can't run again) and just needs to go away.
Mitch wants more bitches so he can remain the leader of the Assistant Democrats.
Ducey was thick as thrives with that traitor McCain and his horrible wife. So let’s hope he stays out
SMILE, Spellcheck is not your friend!
Laugh, MSN=MSM=LEFT! They NEED to believe that the eGOP can make for a Trump-free future! Sorry Charlie ... err Natalie, your wish is not our command!
If Ducey runs and wins the primary we’re stuck with him. I’m ok with that. Trump will enjoy slapping him around.
I always get punished for posting from the phone in the car. Thank you for taking the time to point out an obvious spelling flub..I hope it made your day.
To echo an echo "C'mon Man", it was fun! Have a GOOD Day my FRiend!
AS PREDICTED! Back when he appointed McFailly most of us in AZ predicted this would happen.
As a Trump backstabber we need a viable primary opponent to Ducey that Trump can endorse and end Ducey’s political career.
DUCEY would be going down faster than KAMALA!
He is likely,angling for a job at CNN by pulling this,coup attempt on Trump at the last minute. Duecy obviously cares nothing about the republican party or about coming together as one for the sake of the nation. No, it is obvious that he is all about himself and getting a cushy job after he is gone fro. Gov
My fingers are dyslexic, and worse yet, my tablet spell check hardly catches the spelling errors, so my posts, many of them come out as mangled as biden’s speeches lol
Ducey has worn his welcome out here in AZ. I’m leaning towards Brnovich.
Ducey, please leave the stage. You are going to lose.
No worries we are all friends here.
Brnovich dropped the Audit ball because he didnt want to make waves.
Blake Masters is something not seen in a long time - a native Arizonan who can contrast himself with the carpetbagger clown Kelly. He’s from Tucson so he has a shot at taking a far larger chunk of Pima county votes.
He also has his own money and bigger bucks behind him in the Peter Thiel - Elon Musk universe.
Plus he’s a nice guy. Unlike most of the rest.
Doozy should bug out and throw his support to a younger generation.
