Former President Donald Trump ripped Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich Monday for his handling of his investigation into the 2020 election and signaled he will soon be making an endorsement in Arizona’s Republican U.S. Senate primary race, where Brnovich is a top contender.
“He (Brnovich) wants to be politically correct. Because of the amount of time that it took him to do the report, which was endless, his poll numbers have been rapidly sinking,” Trump said in a written statement. “… The good news is Arizona has some very good people running for election to the U.S. Senate. I will be making an Endorsement in the not too distant future!”
Brnovich is running against four other Republicans seeking the GOP Senate nomination. He faces businessman Jim Lamon, who is spending millions to fund his campaign; venture capitalist Blake Masters; Michael “Mick” McGuire, the retired adjutant general of the Arizona National Guard; and Arizona Corporation Commissioner Justin Olson.
Nearly all have ties to Trump and are competing for the former president’s nod.
