Arizona Sen. Martha McSally asked President Donald Trump and other top Republicans to help her block a potential GOP opponent exploring a run
Arizona Sen. Martha McSally has grown fearful of a 2020 primary challenge in recent days, kicking off a flurry of efforts to protect her at the highest levels of the Republican Party.
McCarthy, a Trump backer who founded the Makeup Eraser beauty care line in 2013, has privately expressed interest to Arizona Republicans about challenging McSally, highlighting the tightrope that she and other swing-state Republicans face as they prepare for the 2020 elections — facing pressure both from a conservative base demanding fealty to the president and a general electorate that’s no longer a sure thing for the GOP.
McSally also called Marc Short, Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, to ask for help with the race.
