Blake Masters has won Arizona’s Republican U.S. Senate primary, according to a projection early Wednesday morning from Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman.
“I’ve seen enough: Blake Masters (R) wins the #AZSEN GOP primary and will face Sen. Mark Kelly (D) in the fall. @CookPolitical November rating: Toss Up,” Wasserman tweeted.

Masters, a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist who grew up in Arizona, earned nearly 37 percent of the vote at the time of Wasserman’s projection. Masters’ 37 percent put him seven points and roughly 40,000 votes ahead of the next closest challenger, businessman Jim Lamon.
Masters came on top in a field of five Republican candidates with the help of an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
He defeated Lamon, former Arizona representative Justin Olson, retired Air Force Major General Mick McGuire, and Arizona attorney general Make Brnovich in Tuesday’s primary.
Masters spoke to Breitbart News shortly after receiving Trump’s endorsement and said the backing has “been like rocket fuel for this campaign.”
Trump praised Masters as a “great modern-day thinker” and “one of the most successful businessmen and investors in the Country” in his endorsement. Trump also praised Masters for his commitment to election integrity.
“Arizona is a State where the 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and a very thorough audit proved it,” Trump added. “Blake knows that the ‘Crime of the Century’ took place, he will expose it and also, never let it happen again.”

Masters spoke with Breitbart News about Google’s influence in the 2020 election, saying, “I think we let Google swing the 2020 presidential election.” He also pledged to “find a way to meaningfully restrain these companies and make them behave” if elected to U.S. Senate.

That’s good but he won’t get much support from his GOP colleagues.
Oh, there were primaries yesterday?
You wouldn’t know it by looking at the FR breaking news.
I say that with great sadness. I love FR and a lot of the people here. I’m still here every day, but it’s nothing like it once was. It’s a shame how it has been destroyed by a small group of people coupled with the over-moderation of breaking news to the point that there really isn’t any.
He has to go thru Turtle and Graham, the 2 Judases.
Why do I not see Ducey in the Republican’s gubernatorial race? Did he not run? Did Trump recommend a candidate?
I agree with you FR has joined the Fake Media...(MSNBC, NPR, CNN, ETC.). Not to worry though, Trump has his own platform!!! And...Trump was “King-Of-The-Hill last night!!-
Ducey was term limited from the Governors race. I’ll bet dollars to donuts he runs against Sinema. Hopesomeone runs against him in the primary.
Not only that, but on many threads, there are trolls to poo-poo any potentially good news for our side.
Did Trump endorse anyone?
Things will come back as we get closer to the Presidential election. Right now folks are taking a breather. Also the heavy handed approach democrats are using against conservative protesters is down right scary. Dems are doing this to intimidate and frighten us. Luckily that’s NOT working at the ballot box because dems haven’t figured out a way to ‘tie citizens to their votes’. We still have secret voting.
Another reason is those of us who have little to lose can keep the lights burning until lefty totalitarians are exposed and defeated. So we need to ‘show up’ and fight the good fight. Others will come back in time.
I remember Trump endorsing someone but I don’t know who it was.
It’s a big win. Brnovich fell on his face. His campaign was a legal abortion. Lammon sounded like Jethro on the Beverly Hillbillies and seemed to be a caricature of MAGA voters.
Ducey is term limited.
Good canidate.
I believe he termed out.
What happened to Masters?
Did Kari Lake win??
Blake Masters won the Arizona GOP Senate primary Tuesday night.
What about the AZ gubernatorial race? No Trump supported candidate? Wonder why Trump was bashing Ducey if he wasn’t running.
“You wouldn’t know it by looking at the FR breaking news.”
I agree. The election coverage threads used to go into the 1000’s of replies. Now they are deleted. What is going on here?
