45th President Donald Trump endorsed venture capitalist and proud American nationalist Blake Masters in the tight race for the Republican Arizona Senate primary.
On Thursday, Trump announced his endorsement of Masters, the most pro-America First candidate in the race, who currently serves as the President of the Thiel Foundation. “Blake Masters is one of the most successful businessmen and investors in the Country, having led a multi-billion dollar firm,” Trump said. “In other words, he is a great modern-day thinker!”
“Despite having such an amazing business career and wonderful family, Blake has decided that he wants to make a difference for the people of our Country, and is therefore running for the United States Senate from the Great State of Arizona,” he added, noting that Masters was strong on border security, tough on crime, will cut taxes and regulations, and fight for the Second Amendment.

The 45th President contrasted Masters with fellow candidate Mark Brnovich, who currently serves as the Attorney General for Arizona. Trump slammed Brnovich as a complete “disappointment,” as “while he understands what took place in the 2020 Presidential election, and that it was Rigged and Stolen, he only views it as something he would like not to see happen again.”
As Valiant News previously reported, the Arizona State Senate referred findings from the Maricopa County 2020 forensic audit, which according to Trump contained “overwhelming evidence of fraud and irregularities,” but then proceeded to further action than issuing a letter of spoliation to Maricopa County, something Trump said proved he was “all talk.”
He proceeded to hit Brnovich further for not going after the alleged ballot “mules,” and for not forcing the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to comply with a subpoena, as he “didn’t want to make ‘waves’.” Therefore, Trump argued, “he… does not support clean and fair elections, or law and order, and could not properly represent the people of Arizona in the United States Senate.”
On the other hand, Masters knows that “the ‘Crime of the Century’ took place [in Arizona], he will expose it and also, never let it happen again,” Trump said, giving Masters his “complete and total endorsement.”
The endorsement comes a day after Masters launched a new campaign ad where he stood by the label of being a “nationalist.”
“The New York Times attacked me. They called me a nationalist. Got me! Guilty as charged,” Masters said. “I love our country. Like President Trump, I want to secure our borders. And it’s about time the government put America first. Look, if the left-wing media and the Democrats don’t like it, bring it on. I’m not going to D.C. to make friends. I’m going to save this country.”

Masters appeared with Laura Ingraham on Fox News in May, saying that the new “America First” team in Congress would “punch right through that wall” of Republican establishment politics.
“We need a change,” Masters said. “The same old Republican talking points, the same old Republicans in office. It doesn’t work any more. What the left is doing is crazy. You’ve got open borders, you’ve got skyrocketing inflation, skyrocketing crime. They literally want to teach your 8-year-old to be transgender, and if you complain about it, they’ll call you a terrorist.”
“The Republican Party cannot just be the party of low taxes,” he added. “If that’s all we are, then we’ll lose… You need new energy in the US Senate, that’s what JD [Vance] represents, that’s what I represent. You need a vibe shift. You get us in there, and we will materially change how the US Senate works.”

In the most recent poll conducted by Fabrizio, Lee, and Associates, for the Saving Arizona PAC, a pro-Masters Super PAC, showed him ahead at 22% in front of his main two opponents, Brnovich and businessman Jim Lamon, who sat at 18% each.
Fellow America First candidate JD Vance received an endorsement from Trump just before his Senate primary in Ohio, and won, likely partially as a result of the endorsement which pushed him over the edge of his opponents.
