Another candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump has won a Republican primary. The primary election took place in Arizona.
The Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake won the nomination.
“Though the results took longer than they should have,” Lake stated. “Arizonans who have been forgotten by the establishment just delivered a political earthquake,” Lake continued.
“This is more than an election—it is a beautiful movement by so many people across our beautiful state to finally put Arizona First,” Lake added.
“Starting tonight, we fight to defeat the radical, corrupt, incompetent Democrats and put our government back into the hands o the great people of Arizona!” Lake concluded.
The Associated Press called the race with Kari Lake at 46.8 percent and Karrin Taylor Robson at 44 percent.
This is seen as another victory for candidates endorsed by Former President Donald Trump.

Lake’s win became the latest in Trump’s sweeping endorsement record in Arizona, where his picks in the races for U. S. Senate, U.S. House, secretary of state, attorney general, and the state Legislature all won GOP nomination in the primaries.
Trump endorsed Lake multiple times leading up to the election, calling her a “fantastic person” who “will do a far better job than RINO Governor Doug Ducey.” Trump endorsed Lake when holding a “Save America” rally in Prescott Valley, Arizona, on July 22.
“With Kari, you’ll have Election Integrity, Strong Borders, Safe Streets, and all of the other things you’ve wanted for so long. Vote for Kari Lake. She has my Complete and Total Endorsement!” Trump said in a statement in July.
