It looked like a MAGA match-up for the ages: two of the most Trump-aligned Republicans anywhere in the country—Kari Lake and Blake Masters—squaring off against each other for a shot at the U.S. Senate seat held by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ).
Lake, the Trump-obsessed failed gubernatorial candidate who continues to deny the 2020 election and her own 2022 defeat, is all but certain to launch a Senate campaign this fall.
Masters, a hard-right Peter Thiel acolyte who lost his 2022 Senate bid after running a dark and dystopian campaign, is gearing up to launch his bid for the GOP nomination, according to a Wall Street Journal story last week.
