Arizona AG's tragic implosion as a Trump wannabe likely cost GOP chance at a Senate seat: columnist [View all]

Republicans may have blown their hopes for beating a recently elected Democratic senator through the actions of one man, Arizona Republic columnist Laurie Roberts wrote on Monday.

"When the story on Arizona’s 2022 election is written, surely one of the sorriest chapters will be the collapse of Mark Brnovich.

A year ago, Arizona’s attorney general looked to be the Republican Party’s best shot at reclaiming the Senate seat that Republicans had held since 1969 – until voters sent appointed Sen. Martha McSally packing in 2020," she wrote. "In the end, Mark Brnovich faced one obstacle he couldn’t overcome: Mark Brnovich."

Roberts wrote that instead of running as a traditional conservative Republican, Brnovich started "pandering to far-right Republicans who were never going to vote for him."
