It happened just weeks after she *lost an election* for the same position.
But sure, criticize Mark Kelly for being "hand-picked."
Mark Kelly is Chuck Schumer's hand-picked candidate & will always have his back.
That's why Mark Kelly has been silent about Schumer blocking unemployment relief for Arizonans. His campaign is Schumer’s path to power and we must stop them.
