Donald Trump has endorsed a Republican running against Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers, who last week gave powerful testimony to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Bowers is blocked by term limits from seeking another term in the Arizona House and is running for an open seat in the state Senate.

Trump on Wednesday praised his GOP primary rival, former Sen. David Farnsworth, for supporting the lie that the 2020 election was marred by fraud.

Bowers earned national acclaim with his folksy recitation of the pressure he faced from Trump and his allies.
