If DeSantis wins, it is a victory that simply would not have been possible without Trump. (Doubt it? Check out this ad DeSantis ran about his support for the President.)


In Arizona's Senate primary, Republican strategists have long worried that Rep. Martha McSally, a moderate who polling suggests is the party's best chance to hold the seat, would lose if Trump came out and endorsed either one of her more Trumpian opponents: Former state legislator Kelli Ward, or pardoned Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Those same strategists were beyond thrilled when, at a ceremony signing the defense authorization bill in New York, Trump said this of McSally: "I've gotten to know her very well, and she is terrific."

That quasi-endorsement may well have sealed McSally's victory. The latest poll in the race showed McSally leading her two primary opponents by 20 points.
