Republican Rep. Martha McSally is backing President Trump and his agenda in her bid to keep an Arizona Senate seat for Republicans -- shifting course from 2016 when she refused to endorse Trump’s presidential campaign. "You better believe I will keep working with President Trump," McSally, a former fighter pilot, said Friday in officially announcing her candidacy. Beyond failing to endorse Trump’s candidacy, McSally has also been critical of Trump’s words and actions during the first year of his presidency. But their hopes for an expensive and politically damaging GOP primary appears slightly dashed now that McSally is officially in the race and with Trump. Republicans lost a Senate seat last month to Democrats in Alabama after Trump and other Washington Republicans in the state's GOP primary backed conservative firebrand Roy Moore over the more moderate Luther Strange.
