Republican businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson announced on Wednesday that she runs for governor in Arizona, promoting the support of President Donald Trump in the race.
“I thank President Trump for his strong support and I hope to work with him to ensure our border and make Arizona safe again,” said Taylor Robson in a statement announcing his career, which made a repeated mention of the president.
“Katie Hobbs has made it more difficult to live, work and raise a family safely in this state,” he added, referring to the State Democratic Governor, who is at the altice of next year. “Like President Trump, I know how to create jobs. And like President Trump, I will not rest until our border is safe and Arizona’s families are safe. “
Taylor Robson’s press release indicated Trump’s comments in a Turning Point action event in Arizona in December as evidence that he has Trump’s support in the race.
“Do you apply for governor? I think Karrin. Because if you do, you will have my support, okay? You’re going to have my support, ”Trump said at that time.
Taylor Robson ran without success for the governor in 2022, losing the primary of the Republican party against Trump’s favorite candidate at that time, former television Kari Lake.
Lake lost a career close to Hobbs, after which he made unfounded statements about electoral fraud. Lake then lost a Senate led by a broader margin in 2024, even when Trump led the battlefield status for 5.5 percentage points.
Although this time he is promoting Trump’s support, Taylor Robson may not have the primary for herself.
Republican representative Andy Biggs, the former president of the Caucus of the House of the Hasual House on the right and a vocal backup of Trump, is also wearing a race.
When asked at the Capitol last month if he could ensure Trump’s support, given the president’s comments about Taylor Robson, Biggs told reporters: “That would depend on him completely, obviously. I mean, I like to think that We have a good relationship. But I think the people of Maga in Arizona will support me.
The career of the governor of Arizona is expected to be one of the most competitive in the country. Hobbs won his first term in 2022 for less than 1 percentage point, and Trump’s victory in 2024 in Arizona arrived after losing the state in 2020.
