It may be unusual for a national figure such as Trump to take interest in primaries or state-level races, but that’s exactly what he is doing.

Presidents don’t usually do this

Lawrence Rosenthal, the chair of the Center for Right Wing Studies at UC Berkeley, agreed that it’s “very unusual for a national PAC of this level of renown to be supporting at the level of state offices.” He said the overall goal is to formalize the blueprint from the 2020 election. In Save America’s endorsement of Kern, Trump wrote that he already pushed out a so-called RINO, or Republican in name only — a state senator who originally supported the state Senate’s audit of the 2020 election but then called the audit’s results embarrassing — and that Kern is “an incredible fighter for election integrity.”

Farnsworth was one of 29 Arizona legislators who in December 2020 asked Vice President Mike Pence to accept a slate of alternate, fake electors in favor of Trump. He has run his campaign in part on his promise to overhaul the state’s elections. "I think Donald Trump is someone who truly loves America and he understands that we are losing freedom to authoritarianism," he said.

While waiting for the results of her own primary, she said, “If we don’t win, there was some cheating going on.” Once the race was called in her favor, she said, “We out-voted the fraud.” Rosenthal, from UC Berkeley, pointed to a legal doctrine headed to the Supreme Court that addresses whether state legislatures can send the state’s electoral votes to a candidate who did not win the majority of votes in the state.

“It’s almost impossible for the ruling party to lose anymore,” Rosenthal said of elections in Hungary. “So this is an attempt to change the rules so that in presidential elections it will be very difficult for the Republican Party to lose.” U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, who voted to overturn 2020 election results hours after the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, lost by about 20 points to incumbent Brad Raffensperger, who became Trump's enemy when he refused the former president’s call to “find 11,780 votes” to overturn his loss in the state.
