About
The GOP primaries for senate, governor, and secretary of state were held on Tuesday the 2nd.
«In the Senate, Trump has backed 35-year-old Blake Masters, a venture capitalist who was the chief operating officer of Thiel's investment firm, Thiel Capital, and the president of Thiel's foundation. Thiel has spent at least $15 million to support Masters, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.»[1]
«For governor, former TV news anchor Kari Lake and lawyer Karrin Taylor Robson were in a tight contest for the GOP nomination [...] Trump has backed Lake, while Pence, along with term-limited sitting Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, have backed Taylor Robson.»[1]
