Former President Donald Trump has proven that his endorsement is powerful and now he has given it to a candidate in the race to pick the next senator from Arizona.
“Blake Masters is one of the most successful businessmen and investors in the Country, having led a multibillion-dollar firm that invests in new technology and many other emerging companies. In addition, he runs a nonprofit foundation that promotes science and innovation. In other words, he is a great modern-day thinker! A graduate of Stanford University and Stanford University Law School, a fantastic student, Blake is also the author of The New York Times bestseller, ‘Zero to One.’” The president said in an email to supporters.
“Despite having such an amazing business career and wonderful family, Blake has decided that he wants to make a difference for the people of our Country, and is therefore running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Arizona.
“Blake is Strong on Border Security, in particular, the disastrous Southern Border where people are pouring into the U.S. by the millions, and destroying our Country. Just two years ago, with the help of the Wall, we had the Strongest Border in the history of our Country, and now we have the weakest—Blake will turn that around quickly.
“Additionally, he will Cut Taxes and Regulations, be Tough on Crime, and Support our Military and our Vets. Blake will fight for our totally under-siege Second Amendment, and WIN!” he said before calling another Republican in the primary, Mark Brnovich, a “disappointment.”
“It is my great honor to give Blake Masters my Complete and Total Endorsement!” he said.
Western Journal reported:
A Trafalgar poll of likely Republican voters for 2022 found 24.8 percent support for Jim Lamon, 23.9 percent support for Mark Brnovich and 19.4 percent support for Masters.
A whopping 20.6 percent of voters were undecided. Masters likely hopes to turn Trump’s endorsement into widespread support from those voters. The poll had 1,064 respondents, a margin of error of 2.99 percent and a 95 percent confidence rating.
And if you have any doubts about the power of Trump’s endorsement, the Pennsylvania primary, which was decided on Friday, showed how important it is.
Dr. Mehmet Oz will be the Republican candidate for Senate from Pennsylvania as his opponent Dave McCormick has conceded.
“Today I called Mehmet Oz to congratulate him on his victory,” McCormick said to a crowd on Friday afternoon.
“It’s now clear to me with the recount now largely complete that we have a nominee,” he said at a campaign party that was held at a Pittsburgh hotel. “Tonight is really about all us coming together.”

U.S. News And World Report reported:
Friday’s development sets up a general election between Oz, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, and Democrat John Fetterman in what is expected to be one of the nation’s premier Senate contests. The race could help determine control of the closely divided chamber.
Fetterman, the state’s lieutenant governor, acknowledged earlier Friday in a statement that he nearly died when he suffered a stroke just days before his primary. He said he had ignored warning signs for years and a doctor’s advice to take blood thinners.
Oz, who is best known as the host of daytime TV’s “The Dr. Oz Show,” had to overcome millions of dollars in attack ads and misgivings among hard-line Trump backers about his conservative credentials on guns, abortion, transgender rights and other core Republican issues.
It comes after Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito made a huge decision on Tuesday when the Justice, who oversees the third circuit, blocked the decision of the federal appeals court who ordered the counting of undated ballots, that were received on time, in the Pennsylvania election, The Washington Post reported.
