  • Lake holds a double digit lead over her nearest competitor, Karrin Taylor Robson, with 33 percent of the vote, while Masters holds a tenuous lead over his closest competitor, Jim Lamon
  • Pollsters noted that with only days left in the governor's race, Lake has been gaining support, as the Arizona primary has gained attention due to the "proxy battle between the GOP Party and Trump loyalists"
  • Breitbart News' Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle and political reporter Ashley Oliver wrote that there is a "proxy war brewing in the Grand Canyon State
