Ward to Flake: Drop Out and Let Me Beat the Dems

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kelli Ward called on her incumbent opponent, Senator Jeff Flake, to drop out of the race after a Morning Consult poll showed him to be the most unpopular Senator running for reelection this year, and urged the GOP to unite behind her candidacy.

“Jeff Flake’s liberal record has not only offended the conservative voters who elected him, but it clearly doesn’t attract liberals either,” Ward said.  “In fact, Jeff Flake is one of the top Democratic targets in 2018, in spite of his liberal votes and repeated vicious attacks on President Trump.”

“Jeff Flake has no base, no core principles and no core beliefs.  That’s why he’s despised by both conservatives and liberals. As a result, he will lose in November, which will threaten our Senate majority,” Ward noted.  “And telling National Public Radio that he wrote in liberal third party Independent Evan McMullin over Donald Trump for President last fall shows the GOP owes him no loyalty.”

Ward urged Flake to drop out now and for the GOP to unite behind her candidacy.

“With every published poll showing I am either tied or leading Senator Flake for the nomination, Jeff’s continued candidacy just stops me from consolidating Republicans now, to begin my focus on the Soros-Democrat Money Machine and whichever Socialist Democrat they get behind,” Ward said.

“The prospect of Arizona having a liberal Democrat in the Senate side-by-side with John McCain is horrifying,” Ward added.  “I hope National and State Republican leadership will sit down with Senator Flake and convince him to end his reelection bid, so the GOP can unite behind my effort to win next November.”

Kelli Ward was elected twice to the Arizona Senate and held John McCain to just 51 percent of the vote in the 2016 Republican Primary.  She has already raised more than $400,000 from nearly 4,000 individual contributors towards her 2018 primary race against Flake and has named grass-roots coordinators in all 15 Arizona counties.
