Kelli Ward, who is preparing for a primary challenge against Sen. Jeff Flake next year, said Mr. Flake and his fellow Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain have been looking for ways to undermine Mr. Trump.
“What any good elected official does is they watch the executive and they look for times when they may need to do it — but they don’t look for things that they can just pick on in order to be in the opposition, and that’s what John McCain and Jeff Flake are both doing,” Ms. Ward told The Washington Times recently.
