President Trump sought to boost Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) with a Twitter shout out Tuesday as the Arizona Republican faces a tough reelection battle against astronaut and gun control activist Mark Kelly.

“Just signed a critical bill to formalize drought contingency plans for the Colorado River. Thanks to @SenMcSallyAZ for getting it done. Big deal for Arizona!” Trump tweeted Tuesday that McSally retweeted.

The law Trump signed codifies an agreement between Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, California, New Mexico and Nevada to establish voluntary water conservation measures as the states try to manage prolonged drought conditions and regional impacts of climate change.

The Arizona Republican is running next year to serve the remaining two years of the late Sen. John McCain’s (R) term. McSally was appointed to the Senate in December after McCain’s death in August, with former Sen. Jon Kyl (R) serving in the interim months. However, she was defeated by Democrat Kyrsten Sinema in the 2018 race to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R).

Sinema’s victory made the Grand Canyon State a top priority for Democrats, who have successfully recruited a top-tier challenger in Kelly.
