Arizona police association that endorsed Trump last week backs Democrat Ruben Gallego for Senate
From CNN's Veronica Stracqualursi
The Arizona Police Association, whose president appeared with former President Donald Trump at his campaign rally last week, on Monday endorsed Democratic Senate nominee Ruben Gallego over his Republican opponent Kari Lake.
“As a Marine combat veteran, we know Congressman Gallego understands the complexities of modern policing in American society today, while at the same time recognizing the public’s expectations,” the group’s president Justin Harris said in a statement on social media.
“The APA does not take our endorsements lightly; we recognize the importance of having a U.S. Senator that can bring people together to improve society for all. We believe Congressman Gallego will be that U.S. Senator.”
Campaigning in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday, Trump invited Harris up on stage with him, turning over the mic to Harris so he could announce an endorsement of the former president’s reelection bid. After several minutes of Harris speaking, the crowd appeared to get restless and Trump could be heard telling Harris, “You gotta go.”
At the conclusion of his remarks, Harris said the Arizona Police Association was proud to endorse Trump for president.
