Blake Masters Plans to Enter Race for Kyrsten Sinema’s Senate Seat

  • Blake Masters, a former protege of Peter Thiel, plans to run for the U.S. Senate in Arizona again, potentially facing a challenge from Kari Lake. Masters has raised his profile in Arizona political circles in recent months and held a prayer meeting on social media. Lake, the GOP's 2022 gubernatorial nominee, has long hinted at a Senate run and is expected to make it formal soon.
  • The addition of Masters and Lake to the race sets Arizona Republicans up for another competitive primary, potentially including Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb. Meanwhile, Rep. Ruben Gallego is the only prominent Democrat running for his party.
  • Last year, Masters won the GOP nomination with the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, while Lake operated as his political ally. However, their relations appear to have cooled recently, as indicated by their exchange on social media. Republicans in Arizona face uncertainty heading into next year's elections, despite a loyal and active base.
