Trump1 and Pence will campaign in Arizona for competing gubernatorial candidates
Former President Donald Trump and former Vice3 President Mike Pence appear Friday at dueling4 rallies in Arizona. The two former running mates are endorsing5 opposing candidates in a governor's race.
LEILA FADEL, HOST:
Today, former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence both traveled to Arizona. The attack on the Capitol drove a wedge between the two of them, as Trump baselessly claimed Pence could overturn the legitimate6 2020 election. The split will be on full display today as Trump and Pence are on opposing sides of a key governor's race in Arizona. From member station KJZZ in Phoenix7, Ben Giles reports.
BEN GILES, BYLINE8: On a chilly9 January day in Florence, Ariz., Kari Lake boasted of her endorsement10 from Trump but warned her supporters of a tough campaign ahead.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
KARI LAKE: But I'm telling you guys, I'm up against a behemoth. I'm up against the Uniparty and swamp donors11. And I'm told they're going to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the Arizona gubernatorial race because they don't want me in office.
GILES: That behemoth has a candidate, Karrin Taylor Robson. While hundreds of millions was an exaggeration, the developer has spent a record-setting amount of cash, mostly her own, on a tsunami12 of TV ads, marketing13 herself as a more reasonable sounding Republican.
(SOUNDBITE OF POLITICAL AD)
KARRIN TAYLOR ROBSON: I started out working for President Reagan - conservative, effective and an optimist14.
GILES: For her, it's been money well spent. Once polling in the single digits15, Taylor Robson's the last legitimate candidate standing16 against Lake in what's now a head-to-head campaign for the GOP nomination17. And now the Arizona swamp, as Lake would call it, is out in full force. Taylor Robson has the support of Arizona Governor Doug Ducey and former Congressman18 Matt Salmon19, who quickly backed her after dropping out of the governor's race. A week ago, former New Jersey20 Governor Chris Christie endorsed21 Taylor Robson while also attacking Lake for alleged22 flip23 flops24 on immigration and abortion25. On CNN, even Ducey got in some fake Lake barbs26.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
DOUG DUCEY: This is all an act. She's been putting on a show for some time now, and we'll see if the voters of Arizona buy it.
GILES: On Monday, Pence announced he, too, was picking sides in Arizona. It's the latest in a series of challenges to Trump's power over the Republican Party and a personal battle between former allies who may run against one another for president in 2024. Pence also backed Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who Trump targeted for rebuffing his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Kemp handily won his primary, but the polling is much closer in Arizona's gubernatorial race. Chuck Coughlin, an Arizona political consultant27, said the momentum28 is clearly on Taylor Robson's side.
CHUCK COUGHLIN: Lake seems to be continually narrating29 a campaign hoping that the Donald Trump coattails can bring her home. Karrin has a more sophisticated narrative30.
GILES: There's another tally31 that's important in the race - the number of candidates. Coughlin said Trump's endorsements32 fare better in crowded fields, like when Dr. Mehmet Oz won a three-way primary for Senate in Pennsylvania. A similar dynamic is at play for Trump's Senate candidate in Arizona, Blake Masters, who's running against three serious challengers.
COUGHLIN: It works very well, say, like in our Senate race, when you have multiple candidates competing and he can pick and choose one of those candidates, which gives him a 10-point bump in the race.
GILES: But in a two-way race for governor, Coughlin said Trump's endorsement has only gotten Lake so far.
COUGHLIN: Her number seems to be fairly stalled in the 30s, which would indicate the amount of support that the president and her - his endorsement got her from the very beginning.
GILES: Today, Pence travels to southern and central Arizona to back Taylor Robson. Trump, who remains33 popular among the state's Republicans, will be in northern Arizona stumping34 for Lake and other election-denying candidates ahead of the August 2 primary. For NPR News, I'm Ben Giles in Phoenix.
