Donald Trump has endorsed two of the six Republicans vying for the nomination in Arizona's 8th Congressional District. The backing of Abraham Hamadeh and Blake Masters came over the weekend and just ahead of the primary in the swing state.
FILE - Then-Republican candidate for Arizona Attorney General, Abraham Hamadeh, smiles prior to a televised debate against Democrat Kris Mayes on Sept. 28, 2022. In a Truth Social post on Saturday night, 27, 2024, former President Donald Trump backed candidates Abraham Hamadeh and Blake Masters — former political allies turned bitter rivals — to represent Arizona ’s conservative-leaning 8th Congressional District, praising the pair of Republicans as “two spectacular America First Candidates.
Masters now is distinguishing himself as the candidate with both Trump’s endorsement and that of his vice presidential pick, U.S. Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Hamadeh, Masters and Kari Lake, who is now running for U.S. Senate, campaigned together in 2022 in separate races. But the friendship between Hamadeh and Masters deteriorated after they lost.
“While Blake ‘the Snake’ Masters has run a despicable campaign attacking an Army veteran, Abe has been focused on the issues that are affecting everyday Arizonans,” Knight said.
