Former Vice President Mike Pence has endorsed Karrin Taylor Robson in the Republican primary for governor of Arizona.

The endorsement puts Pence at odds with former President Donald Trump, who has endorsed Kari Lake in the race.

Robson announced Pence’s endorsement of her campaign this morning.

Conservative commentator Raheem Kassam highlighted exactly how much the opposing endorsements emphasize the rift between Trump and Pence. They will both be in the state on Friday hosting rallies for their chosen candidates.

Robson has also been endorsed by Arizona’s outgoing term-limited Republican governor, Doug Ducey.

The Center Square shared polling data last week that showed Lake with a slight lead over Robson, just a few days after Ducey’s endorsement.

Although Lake, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is leading in the poll, Robson is within striking distance. Lake earned 39% support of those surveyed while Robson received 35.3%. The poll found that 19.2% still considered themselves undecided in the race.

For Robson, it has been a meteoric rise in the polls. In the April HighGround poll, she trailed Lake by nearly 20 points (30.3% to 9.5%). Robson apparently has been aided by former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon’s decision to drop out of the race and endorse her.

The closely watched primary will take place on August 2, and the results in races for governor and U.S. Senate will have national implications.

    And there we all have the evidence of what Pres Trump has been saying all along….that Pence is a Traitor

      I am so sorry that members of our GOP choose to name-call instead of recognizing we all have choices to make. And just because it might not be what the former President wants is no reason to start acting like dems!! Please people…let’s be kind to one another and save our “not-better side” for the d’s, who deserve it.

    Jesse

    Yep, with the RINOs piling on, that says a bunch about Lake vs Robson. Like Pence and Doozey, she won’t do a thing about the 2020 election.

      Pete

      The only reason Pence endorsed her is because Trump had endorsed Lake who will be a great Governor I and I believe she will fight to get back border security.

    Thought Pence was such a God fearing man.?????????yeah right…just as crooked at the Dems

    Fred

    Pence is a rino traitor. All that is going on because of election steal is on him. He betrayed country, constitution, us and Trump. Only AMERICA haters would support anyone Pence endorse. America endorses POTUS picks.

    As an AZ native, older than 60 years, I have watched Kari on the news for a long time. Highly respected. The current governor is a RINO as is pence. And so is the gal running for gov that they are backing. Really, a developer? We true Arizonans don’t particularly care for those like her who have tried their hardest to turn our great state into an overcrowded garbage dump! I vote for Kari!

    lox

    Pence is testing the waters for a presidential run. Pence wants to see just how much political clout he has. Pence shouldn’t test too much. If it isn’t Trump, it certainly won’t be Pence. Just exactly what accomplishments as VP can Pence lay claim to?
