Trump-Backed Blake Masters Takes Arizona GOP Senate Nomination

Blake Masters is projected as the winner of the hotly-contested race for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate in Arizona's primary elections.

Decision Desk HQ, Newsmax's elections results partner, called the race for Masters a 35-year-old venture capitalist endorsed by former President Donald Trump early Wednesday morning.

The call put Masters over solar energy executive Jim Lamon, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, and retired Maj. Gen. Michael McGuire, setting him up to challenge Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., this fall. Kelly ran unchallenged in Tuesday's primary. 

Kelly has been in office since 2020 when he was elected to finish the rest of late Sen. John McCain's term in office. 

In addition to having Trump's endorsement, Masters was also backed financially by PayPal co-founder and Facebook investor Peter Thiel, who spent millions on his campaign, reports Axios. The projected nominee was a former chief operating officer of the investment firm Thiel Capital until February. 

Arizona's race for the Senate is one of the most closely-watched elections in the nation, and its winner in November could help determine party control of the Senate.

I cannot get enough of the good news. Now we have to follow through in November. It will be a tough road as we not only have to fight the Democrats, but the assistant Democrats and the likes of Fox News.

Jo Jo the Pedo and his RATS have had a “good week.” Ask FNC’s Nutty Bair.

I am convinced Bair is a Castro street regular wearing a mask.

All these polls follow a week that the establishment gets socked. Everybody loves the Democrats. Oh yeah. Biden is beloved. Great week for him. Oh yeah. Kool-Aid time.

Kelly wasnt elected rather he was selected.

Kelly is running political adds touting his conservativism.
Kelly has the RINOs telling me lies about his record.

Kelly started running nasty ads against Masters within five minutes of the election being called.

A vote for any democrat is a vote to enable Pelosi and Schumer. The Republicans could be running a llama against Kelly and I’d vote for the llama.

It will be interesting to see what the polls verses Kelly show.
