During an interview with The New York Post, Rubio (R-Fla.) endorsed Lake (R-Ariz.) stating she is a “proven fighter.”
“Kari Lake is the proven fighter we need in the Senate to secure the border, grow our economy, lower the cost of living, and push pro-family policies,” Rubio said in a statement. “I am proud to endorse her for Senate in Arizona. Her opponent votes with Kamala Harris 100% of the time. Kari will be a strong voice for all Arizonans.”
Following Rubio’s statement, Lake said she was “honored” to have his endorsement.
“He has fought for the American Dream, the family, and our national security. I look forward to working with him in the Senate to get our country back on track,” she said.
U.S. Representative Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is running against Lake to replace Senator Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) who will not be seeking re-election after leaving the Democrat party in December of 2022.
According to a poll from RealClearPolitics, Gallego has a 3.4% lead. However, a Remington Research Group poll conducted from late June to early July showed a 47-47% tie.
On July 31st, Lake won the Republican Senate primary and advanced to the key matchup against Gallego.
