Gov. Burgum endorses Kari Lake in Arizona Senate race: 'Conservative fighter we need'

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, a potential running mate for former President Trump, endorsed Republican Kari Lake in Arizona’s U.S. Senate race.

Lake is leading in the latest polls against Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.

“Kari Lake is the conservative fighter we need to help President Trump Make America Great Again,” Burgum said in a statement released on Friday.

He joins a long list of Trump-aligned Republicans who have thrown their support behind Lake ahead of Arizona’s July 30 GOP primary.

Burgum ran for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination but dropped out due to low support in polls.
