....but there's no real space between extremist Republicans like Kari Lake and Mark Finchem and establishment (presumably saner) Republicans.
Ticket splitting, by definition, happens when a voter votes for candidates of more than one political party.
From Yahoo! (emphasis added by me)-
Pence support for election deniers raises question of where GOP stands on 2020 lies
As he lines up a possible bid for the White House in 2024, former Vice President Mike Pence is campaigning with the strangest of political bedfellows, throwing his name and his money behind candidates who supported the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that put the Indiana Republican’s life in danger.
On Wednesday, Pence raised money for a former aide now running for Indiana’s secretary of state, who called the 2020 election a “scam.” On Thursday, Pence will headline a fundraiser for one of the fake electors enlisted by Donald Trump and his allies in Georgia. And Pence has recently given his endorsement to top Republican candidates in New Hampshire and Arizona, despite their prior support for Trump’s 2020 election lie.
Yes, Pence is supporting those that wanted him dead on January 6, 2021.
Guess for him anyway, being called "Mr. President" is more important than being called "Mr. Alive",
It's not just national Republicans who are kissing up to extremists, either. It happens here in Arizona, too. From the website of the FEC -
Ragan was a staffer for Jon Kyl, has close ties to Kirk Adams and/or Doug Ducey, and was even the treasurer for Karrin Taylor Robson in the R primary.
In short, she's as "establishment GOP" as establishment gets.
Yet, now she's tied to The Center for Arizona Policy, which was extreme long before Cheeto came along.
It's even fronted by a Cheeto-like bigoted grifter.
In short, supporting any Republican means supporting means supporting vileness and extremism, no matter how much that Republican says that they're one of the "good" ones.
