Kali Lake, a Republican running for Senate in Arizona, said former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was the “perfect fit” for the MAGA movement and welcomed his support for former President Trump’s bid for the White House.
“It shows how welcoming our movement is. America First, the MAGA movement, whatever you want to call it, we welcome everybody,” Lake said in an interview on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday” when asked about Kennedy’s endorsement of the former president.
“This isn’t a ‘Republican First Movement,’ it’s called the ‘America First Movement,’ so when he decides to step out and get involved and support President Trump, he will be welcomed with open arms,” she continued.
Lake explained that the campaign behind Trump’s election is focused on national security, safety and a quality education for our children, and Kennedy’s endorsement only strengthens that agenda, she said.
“He added some things that I thought were important, which is making America healthy again and making our kids safe again. So this is a perfect addition to our movement and we welcome him,” she added.
The interview came after Kennedy announced he was suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump. Kennedy, who had been running as an independent at the end of his campaign, began by challenging President Biden for the Democratic nomination.
