Donald Trump gives complete endorsement to Republican Alexander Kolodin for Arizona Secretary of State race
Donald Trump provided a complete and total endorsement for Republican Alexander Kolodin, who won the Republican nomination to face incumbent Democrat Adrian Fontes for Arizona Secretary of State. The endorsement from Donald Trump was shared via Truth Social, where he praised Kolodin as a tough and smart winner who supported him during his own presidential victory. Alexander Kolodin is a member of the right-wing Freedom Caucus and has frequently questioned previous election results. He led several lawsuits to overturn the results of the 2020 and 2022 elections in Arizona, which were criticized by some judges for lacking reliable evidence. The winner of this race will serve as the chief election officer for Arizona, a key swing state and presidential battleground in 2028. The endorsement from Donald Trump serves as a test of whether his backing can help Republicans beyond his own base as he faces a slump in the polls.
