Trump Backs Uber-Wealthy Cultist For Arizona Gov

Politico reports:

Karrin Taylor Robson, an attorney and business executive with ties to the state’s GOP establishment, launched a second run for governor of Arizona on Wednesday — this time with Donald Trump’s backing. Her bid comes roughly three years after she lost a brutal Republican governor primary to Kari Lake in a race that drew national attention because of Lake’s personal and nasty attacks on Robson. In 2022, Lake had Trump’s endorsement.

Lake ran an underfunded campaign against Robson, who invested millions of her family’s wealth into her run. Lake accused Robson of “trying to buy the election with her 95-yr-old husband’s millions.” (Robson’s husband, Ed, is a real estate developer.) Lake also attacked followers of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and accused another primary rival of being “OK with special needs kids being” sexually assaulted.
