With just under two months left before the November election, candidates' campaigns are going into overdrive. Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) has gotten some wind in her sails thanks to the recent endorsement from Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who said she would "be a reliable, conservative vote to secure our border, support law and order, bring down inflation, and give the American people breathing room to regain control of their lives."
Additionally, Sen. Graham, described by the Lake campaign as "a stalwart protector of Israel and a loyal friend to President Trump," chastised the policies of the Biden-Harris Administration, with help from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) as "pathetic" and similarly derided Lake's opponent, Representative Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) as "one of the most radical members of the Democratic party."
"It is absolutely necessary to change course in this country. The Biden-Harris-Schumer agenda of broken borders, a weak economy, high inflation, and pathetic foreign policy needs to be stopped now. Kari Lake will be a reliable, conservative vote to secure our border, support law and order, bring down inflation, and give the American people breathing room to regain control of their lives. Kari will be one of the strongest supporters for the state of Israel in the Senate – unlike her opponent. Her opponent is one of the most radical members of the Democratic party who will double down on Kamala Harris's failed agenda. I urge you to support Kari Lake to represent Arizona in the United States Senate as she will help President Trump turn this nation around, and give Republicans a senate majority we desperately need," Graham's complete statement read.

In response, Lake called for the Republican Party to unite, saying, "The first step in saving America is electing Republicans up and down the ballot; the first step is uniting the GOP. I am honored to have Senator Graham's endorsement, and I look forward to working with him in D.C. to advance President Trump's agenda in the Senate."
In March, Lake received the endorsements of other prominent Senators, including Joni Ernst (R-IA), John Cornyn (R-TX), Jim Risch (R-ID), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY).
More recently, the Arizona Senate candidate received additional support after securing her primary victory in August in the form of endorsements from Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), her primary opponent, Sheriff Mark Lamb, and her one-time rival for the 2022 Republican gubernatorial primary, Karrin Taylor Robson.
