Pence endorses rival to Trump-backed candidate in Arizona GOP gubernatorial primary

Former Vice President Mike Pence is once again at odds with former President Donald Trump, as Pence endorses a rival to the Trump-backed candidate in Arizona's GOP gubernatorial primary
The former vice president called Taylor Robson "the best choice for Arizona’s future" and emphasized in his statement that "as Arizona Democrats pursue the reckless Biden-Harris agenda, Karrin Taylor Robson is the only candidate for governor that will keep Arizona’s border secure and streets safe, empower parents and create great schools, and promote conservative values."
Taylor Robson is one of the two polling front-runners in the Republican primary in a field of four candidates, along with former TV news anchor Kari Lake, who for months has been supported by Trump. The winner of the Republican primary will likely face off in November with Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is the leading contender for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in the one-time red state that has become a top general election battleground between the two major parties.
