Like other states holding primary elections, Arizona featured pitched battles in the continuing Republican civil war
past seven weeks of the political life of Rusty Bowers, and you will understand the current crisis of the Republican Party. On June 21st Mr Bowers, who is the current speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, testified before the congressional committee investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6th 2021.
Kari Lake looked set to secure the Republican nomination to be governor, despite stiff competition from a moderate who had the backing of the incumbent Republican governor, Doug Ducey, and Mr Trump’s former vice-president, Mike Pence. It is not hard to see why Ms Lake is thought to be a contender to replace Mr Pence on Mr Trump’s ticket if he should, as expected, make another run for the White House.
Perhaps the most hardcore of the bunch is Mark Finchem, a state legislator and leading proponent of the Stop the Steal movement, who attended the January 6th riot . On August 2nd he won his party’s nomination to be secretary of state. Mr Finchem has said that Mr Trump would have won Arizona in 2020 had he been in office. Now he could well be in charge of certifying the 2024 election.
