PHOENIX — Blake Masters will lead the Republican bid to take back control of the U.S. Senate.
The venture capitalist who said Congress should not have certified the 2020 election of Joe Biden combined the backing of Donald Trump and financial support from tech giant and PayPal founder Peter Thiel to roll over businessman Jim Lamon, who largely self-funded his campaign.
The high-profile fight between the two largely left state Attorney General Mark Brnovich in the dust, trailing a distant third. Trump specifically snubbed Brnovich, claiming he had not done enough to investigate alleged irregularities in the 2020 race in Arizona.
