Blanchard Sounds Open to Switching Races

Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Lynda Blanchard (R) has issued a statement following reports that former President Donald Trump discussed giving her his endorsement in a primary challenge against Gov. Kay Ivey (R) if Blanchard dropped her U.S. Senate run, AL.com reports.

Said Blanchard: “While I don’t comment on private conversations, the President’s endorsement is unquestionably the most powerful force in American politics and when he endorses candidates, they win.”

She added: “The MAGA Movement is the heart and soul of this nation. I entered the Senate race to serve Alabama’s people, and no matter what the future may bring, that will always be my main goal.”
