Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake received an endorsement from a top Republican Senate leader on Wednesday, coming after Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) confirmed she would not seek reelection in 2024.
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, told news outlets that he would back Ms. Lake, also a Republican, in her bid for Ms. Sinema’s seat. Currently, she is likely to face Rep. Reuben Gallego (D-Ariz.) in the general election in November.
