Arizona GOP Sen. Martha McSally Refuses to Restate Her Support for Donald Trump

HeadlineOct 08, 2020

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.”
