Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey has already helped block one of former President Donald Trump’s allies from winning the Republican nomination for governor in a crucial battleground state. Now he’s hoping for a repeat in his own backyard.
Ducey is part of a burgeoning effort among establishment Republicans to lift up little-known housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson against former television news anchor Kari Lake, who is backed by Trump. Other prominent Republicans, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, have also lined up behind Robson in recent days.
On Monday, Robson’s campaign announced the endorsement of former Vice President Mike Pence, who will campaign with her on Friday — the same day Trump is scheduled to hold a rally for Lake, creating a split-screen moment underscoring the divide between the GOP establishment and Trump.
The push is reminiscent of how many leading Republicans rallied around Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in the final stretch of his ultimately successful bid to fend off a Trump-endorsed primary challenger.
Few states have been as central to Trump’s election lies as Georgia and Arizona, the two closest 2020 battlegrounds where he pushed aggressively to overturn the results and fumed when Kemp and Ducey refused to go along. Trump has already faced a setback in Georgia, and the Aug. 2 race in Arizona is among his last opportunities to settle scores and install allies to lead states that may prove decisive if he decides to run again in 2024.

WE always had to hold our noses and put our shoulders to the wheel to get THEIR milquetoast candidates over the line.
But as usual, THEY would prefer a Democrat.
So predictable and tiresome.
Sadly, the people know this and they still fall for the BS that is thrown at them by the Establishment.
I will never believe that Kemp got the number of primary votes that he did. I can only speak for my circle but I don’t know one person that was voting for him. Of course, they could be saying one thing and doing another once they got to the Dominion machine. Who knows?
But, to think that people can still be swayed by these blatant tactics, propaganda, and whatever else they throw at the voters, is mind boggling.
I would think that, if I were a voter in Arizona and Ducey, Pence and any other RINO was supporting a candidate, it’s automatic I’m not voting for that candidate.
Why do these people not understand that Pence is not a beloved person. He is now showing his true colors. RINO backstabber extraordinaire.
Pence is who he always was. A RINO.
They manage to do that..I will contact Lake and get her to run “I” and mess it all up.
Phuck em..all of em.
Agree 100%
This looks really bad for pence. No way I’d ever vote for him, especially now.
“...Trump’s election lies...”
Total BS!!!!!!!!!
It will be especially sweet when Kari Lake and Blake Masters win both the nomination and the general election in Arizona. Then we can really get serious about having real investigations into the massive election fraud in Arizona in 2020 and pushing back on the corporate media’s constant lies denying the obvious massive election fraud.
Shows us Lake is the real deal.
All thr DeSantis fans...would he be willing to stick his neck out for a clear MAGA candidate for Govenor? It’s easy to ,”have non of thr negatives as Trump” when you do none of the work. Would love your support here against the Repukes!
Is it too early for Fox to call this race?
They didn’t want a certain republican in Alabama for a special election for a temporary replacement of a Senator. And we ended up with Democrat Doug Jones for two years.
“Few states have been as central to Trump’s election lies as Georgia and Arizona..”
No bias there Jonathan. You puke leftest disguised as a journalist. This is an AP article presented by local news station. See my tagline.
THIS goes to the heart of the matter.
RINO traitors don't want MAGA taking over 'their' party, and they will happily once again turn a blind eye to Democrat cheating if it means the defeat of Mastriano and Lake.
The only way we get our country back is to vote out RINOs in the state legislatures, governors, SoS, and DAs. It will not happen in one cycle, but we must remain firm.
GA is lost. It is a cesspool of RINO corruption that allies itself with Democrats to defeat MAGA. It would be KARMA on a massive scale if Rat-booger and Kemp lose to Democrats by drop-box fraud and cheat-by-mail-in ballots. Kemp and Rat-booger are no friends to MAGA, and will indeed again subvert Trump if he is the candidate in 2024.
Bush League Republicans will always work to elect a Democrat if their preferred Assistant Democrat is defeated in the primary.
And the Rats will almost always support whoever is nominated by their party. They want to win.
Few states have been as central to the Big Steal as AZ and GA.
Both were stolen for the Democrats by Republicans.
It came out this weekend that Robson scammed some people into monthly payments to her campaign. So far 1200 people have asked for refunds. https://knst.iheart.com/featured/garret-lewis/content/2022-07-18-karrin-taylor-robson-scammed-thousands-of-people-with-deceptive-texts/
The same traitorous, globalist RINOs who ‘stepped up’ for Kemp, in GA. 🤬
Trump really upset the applecart and now his MAGA movement is making national stars out of people like Ron DeSantis, Kari Lake and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
The MAGA movement is a mortal threat to the RINO/Dem establishment and they will do all they can to crush it while they feel they still can.
Ha! See 18.....yes...it seems these two states are definitely connected.
