Published



EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) will back Kari Lake for her Arizona Senate bid on Tuesday, marking the latest endorsement in the high-profile race as Senate Republicans coalesce around her candidacy in the battleground state.

“Joe Biden and Senate Democrats have made America less safe and we are in a fight for the soul of our nation,” Schmitt said in a statement. “The Senate Majority runs through Arizona, and I am excited to endorse Kari Lake for Senate. She will fight to secure the border and put America First. Her opponent is a Far-Left Democrat who would vote with Chuck Schumer 100 percent of the time. Kari will be a voice for Arizona.”
