Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) is being pressed on her support for President Donald Trump.
During the debate between McSally and Democratic opponent Mark Kelly on Tuesday, McSally was asked by the host, “Senator, the question was, are you proud of your support for President Trump?”
The Republican senator, however, ducked the question as she responded, “I’m proud to be fighting for Arizona every single day, putting legislation on President Trump’s desk.”
The host was undeterred, pressing, “So you’re proud of your support for President Trump?” McSally instead pointed to legislation that was put on the president’s desk “to cut Arizona’s taxes.”
“It sounds like she’s proud of her support for President Trump,” the host added, to which McSally interjected, “I’m proud to be fighting for Arizona.”
McSally’s Democratic challenger, however, was more forward as he called Trump’s behavior and actions as president “not acceptable.”
