SIERRA VISTA, Ariz.­­—With less than a week to go before the Nov. 8 election, Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake and Republican Senate candidate Blake Masters spoke to the media at the southern border.

“This is the material that you and I paid for,” Lake said, while pointing to border wall construction material that was lying on the ground. “When I’m governor, my plan calls to take that back and start finishing the wall, This is outrageous that it’s sitting here rusting.”
