Arizona Republicans hope that a post-verdict surge in donations for former President Donald Trump could be a “turning point” for their own struggling fundraising.

“If you thought [the verdict] was a big day for fundraising, just wait until sentencing day,” a Republican strategist in Arizona told NOTUS.

Arizona Republicans desperately want more funding for multiple high-stakes races, including the Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. While it’s too soon to say for sure, multiple strategists and campaign figures told NOTUS they think the post-verdict Trump donations could trickle down to Arizona.
