She's a 'proven fighter.'

Not every move Sen. Marco Rubio makes is for a Florida audience, as shown by an out-of-state endorsement promulgated nationally on Saturday.

The Sunshine State’s senior Senator is supporting Kari Lake in the U.S. Senate race in Arizona, finally backing the former television journalist after she won a Primary earlier this month.

““Kari Lake is the proven fighter we need in the Senate to secure the border, grow our economy, lower the cost of living, and push pro-family policies,” Rubio said, as reported by the New York Post. “I am proud to endorse her for Senate in Arizona. Her opponent votes with Kamala Harris 100 percent of the time. Kari will be a strong voice for all Arizonans.”

“He has fought for the American Dream, the family, and our national security. I look forward to working with him in the Senate to get our country back on track,” Lake said, adding that she was “honored” to be backed by Rubio.

Lake trails Democrat Ruben Gallego by more than three points, per the Real Clear Politics polling average.

    I endorse her too. Go Kari! Resist the Kalifornia nut jobs invading your fine state. They run from bad policies yet want the same in Arizona. True zombies.

    This lady is a full blown kook. Election denier, she got up on stage to announce Trump and Desantis had “big d–k energy.” She’s crass and a nut. Marco stop rolling around in the muck, show some self-respect.
    If Barry Goldwater was still around he wouldn’t believe all these nuts that stole the Republican party.

      I wouldn’t wish that on anybody — even you! You at least display common sense (although rather rudely), while she is just plain nuts, drunk with power-lust.

    Well that says it all.

    The Republican mayor of Mesa invited John McCain Republicans in Arizona to join him in supporting Harris & Walz. He called Trump morally and ethically bankrupt.

      So he is supporting Harris. What exactly is he supporting then? No one knows what her plans are. Of course she is attempting to separate herself from the last 3.5 year debacle. That mayor has probably been hitting the peyote hard.

        Bullshit.

    • Kamala is Brat 🥥🌴🥥

      August 10, 2024 at 7:21 pm

      New York Times has confirmed from two sources that Trump refers to Kamala as ‘the bitch!’

        Good reminder for women of what Trump thinks of women, how he treats women, and where he likes to grab them.

    If anyone wants to know what the Harris Walz ticket stand ms for, just listen to what Harris and Walz are saying at their well attended rallies. You can watch on YouTube.

        You probably use Bing which explains some of the misinformation you spout.

        Listen, if Trump loses you win: you get your Republican party back. You’ll have to knock out some of his brown nosers out of the way, but watch how fast folks like Marco Rubio reclaim their dignity. Desantis is a lost cause, the chip on his shoulder about having to share America with people who aren’t like him will never go away.

          I’m sure there’s a lot of Republicans who would agree. What they call rino’s would be what I call electable centrists but hey, that’s just me.
