The news that Blake Masters is preparing to run for the seat held by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) in Arizona was unexpected in some Republican circles as most of the speculation has swirled around Kari Lake, who continues to tease a potential Senate run this fall.
Masters, who ran for Senate, and Lake, who ran for governor, last cycle both won their primaries with former President Donald Trump’s endorsement but lost in the general election. Now, the possibility of them running head-to-head in a GOP primary has added a new wrinkle in what is already expected to be an ugly fight in a battleground state.Masters’s decision to run again was reported by the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.
“I think a lot of people were under the impression that if Kari Lake runs, Blake would stay out,” said Barrett Marson, an Arizona-based GOP strategist, in an interview with the Washington Examiner. In response, the Kari Lake War Room account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted: “It’s great to have you back, Blake. We hope your next interview is with someone who has not spent the last 9 months smearing Kari.”
“That’s the problem with a Lake candidacy — from the minute she got done with the last election, she’s done nothing to expand her voter universe,” he added. “The rule in Arizona in order to win a statewide election, you have to win unaffiliated voters.” Following Masters’s election loss, he said he could have won the race if McConnell had put more money into the state during an appearance on Fox News.
