Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey is now going against Trump’s pick in the race to succeed him as governor. Ducey backed Karrin Taylor Robson, who is running against Kari Lake, a Trump-endorsed former local TV news anchor, in the Aug. 2 primaries.
Former President Donald Trump meets with Arizona Governor Doug Ducey in the Oval Office. | Doug Mills/Getty ImagesArizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey — whose relationship with Donald Trump ruptured over his refusal to overturn the state’s 2020 election outcome — is now going against the former president’s pick in the race to succeed him as governor.
Trump has since turned Ducey into one of his favorite targets, calling him a “RINO” — Republican in Name Only — and “one of the worst Governors in America.” In endorsing Lake last September, Trump said she would “do a far better job than” Ducey. Lake has followed Trump’s lead, attacking the governor for, among other things, his border policies, while relentlessly trumpeting the former president’s ongoing lie that the election was stolen.
The governor has filmed an advertisement expressing his support for Robson that was released Thursday, and is expected to take additional steps to bolster the candidate in the run-up to the primary, according to a person familiar with his plans. Robson, however, has been a major Trump backer, too: Her campaign has noted that she raised more than $1 million for Trump’s campaigns. Her husband, Ed Robson, was also a six-figure donor to Trump.
