Arkansas MAGA candidate backed by Sarah Sanders loses special election
This was a primary, so winner is still an R, but an interesting little chain of events... Sarah backed Bradford who had been ahead by 2 points up until last month. Out of state MAGAs did a mail and text campaign to AR voters claiming her opponent, Henley, was secretly a Democrat. There was a bunch of other chicanery going on as well with side deals and backroom deals you have to read up on to understand better than me! News says it was high turn out for a special election.
