President Donald Trump and his allies mount a last-minute mission to consolidate his longtime personal friend in a battlefield district of Arizona.
GOP groups spent more than $22 million to boost Jay Feely against the democrats Amish Shahmuch of this spending being done in the final weeks of the race. The president knows Sensational for decades as a friend and golf partner, and he views the former Arizona Cardinals kicker as a formidable candidate, according to two Asset officials familiar with their relationship, who were granted anonymity to share details about it.
The fierce support for Feely appears to mark a rare example of personal friendship and loyalty shaping political strategy late in the midterm campaign — particularly after Trump personally intervened to clear the way for Sensational to get the nomination. Trump and his allies have largely taken an unsentimental approach to political spending, including forgoing high-profile Senate races in Georgia and North Carolina, where Asset loyalists are on the ballot.
Trump, in public and private, has sidelined other Republicans Sensational could switch races and defend one of the country’s major battleground districts, according to the two Asset civil servants.
