It is becoming clear that the Washington establishment is afraid of Kelli Ward as she makes her second run for Senate, this time to unseat Jeff Flake to represent the state of Arizona.
Recent polls commissioned by the Kelli Ward for Senate campaign show Dr. Ward ahead in the polls by a margin of 48-31 among likely GOP voters. Ward has been very active traveling around the state of Arizona, speaking face to face with voters. Her campaign is in full swing, increasing her name awareness in the state and recently found herself speaking with the Trump Administration regarding her campaign.
When matched against two other Arizona politicians considering a run for Flake’s seat, State Treasurer Jeff DeWit and former state party chair Robert Graham, both of whom also recently spoke to the Trump White House, Ward leads in a four-way race with 30 percent of polled voters.
However, since the recent announcement of Senator John McCain’s cancer diagnosis, Ward found herself in the middle of tough questioning from the press regarding the future of McCain’s Senate seat.
The fact is, if McCain’s seat opens prior to the end of his term, Arizona governor Doug Ducey would appoint another Republican to fill the seat until the next general election in 2018. The winner of the seat in 2018 would then complete Senator McCain’s term. Arizona will potentially be in the unique position of having two Senate seats open in the 2018 election.
