Former President Donald Trump and vice president, Mike Pence, both talked up the successes of their administration and hammered President Joe Biden, but neither directly addressed the other or the growing rift between them at an Arizona campaign rally.
Her main rival, former television anchor Kari Lake, has embraced Trump’s election lies along with his combative approach to his political enemies and the media.
Trump took aim at two Arizona Republicans who refused to go along with his efforts to remain in office after losing to Biden. He said state House Speaker Rusty Bowers, who testified last month to the House Jan. 6 committee, “participated against the Republican Party.” He said Gov. Doug Ducey has failed to secure the border with Mexico.
Telegenic and already well-known from her decades anchoring the evening news in Phoenix, Lake has energized Trump’s most ardent supporters in Arizona. But she faces a potentially close contest with Robson, whose family’s vast fortune has allowed her to vastly outspend Lake with early voting underway.
Pence highlighted Lake’s past support for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and a “not my president” meme the then-news anchor posted as Trump prepared for his 2017 inauguration.
