Blake Masters has won Arizona’s Republican U.S. Senate primary, according to a projection early Wednesday morning from Cook Political Report’s Dave Wasserman.
“I’ve seen enough: Blake Masters (R) wins the #AZSEN GOP primary and will face Sen. Mark Kelly (D) in the fall. @CookPolitical November rating: Toss Up,” Wasserman tweeted.
Masters, a former Silicon Valley venture capitalist who grew up in Arizona, earned nearly 37 percent of the vote at the time of Wasserman’s projection. Masters’ 37 percent put him seven points and roughly 40,000 votes ahead of the next closest challenger, businessman Jim Lamon.
Masters came on top in a field of five Republican candidates with the help of an endorsement from former President Donald Trump.
He defeated Lamon, former Arizona representative Justin Olson, retired Air Force Major General Mick McGuire, and Arizona attorney general Make Brnovich in Tuesday’s primary.
