On the campaign trail, Republican candidates for the House and Senate are increasingly distancing themselves from Donald Trump. In Arizona, Republican Senator Martha McSally — who trails Democratic challenger Mark Kelly by double digits in recent polls — refused to answer a debate moderator Tuesday night who asked her if she is proud of her support for Trump.
Ted Simmons: “Senator, the question was: Are you proud of your support for President Trump?”
Sen. Martha McSally: “I’m proud to be fighting for Arizona every single day” —
Ted Simmons: “Is that a yes or a no for President Trump?”
Sen. Martha McSally: — “putting legislation on President Trump’s desk.”
Ted Simmons: “So you’re proud of your support for President Trump?”
Sen. Martha McSally: “You look at the legislation we put on his desk, it’s to cut Arizona taxes.”
Ted Simmons: “It sounds like she is proud of her support for President Trump.”
Sen. Martha McSally: “I’m proud to be fighting for Arizona.”
