Legendary Astronaut Buzz Aldrin Endorses Arizona Sen. McSally Over Former Astronaut Mark Kelly
25th October 2020
Legendary astronaut Buzz Aldrin expressed his support for Republican Arizona Sen. Martha McSally’s bid to keep her seat over her Democratic challenger in a Friday evening tweet.
McSally, a former United States Air Force pilot and congresswoman who was appointed by Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to fill the seat of the late Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain, has been running significantly behind former astronaut Mark Kelly throughout the 2020 Senate race. However, recent polls have shown the Arizona senator closing the gap of late, and one even has her leading by two percentage points, according to Real Clear Politics.
