WASHINGTON — If it’s Friday ... President Biden talks infrastructure as his voting rights push appears all but dead. ... Biden also plans executive action on police reform. ... Super PAC attacks Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania. ... And TODAY celebrates 70 years on the air.
But first: Former President Donald Trump is bringing the 2022 roadshow to Arizona this Saturday for his first rally of the midterm-election year.

And the event will include Arizona Republicans like Kari Lake (a candidate for governor) and Mark Finchem (running for secretary of state) who have trumpeted Trump’s attacks on the 2020 presidential election — and have earned the former president’s endorsement.
In fact, one way Trump has wielded power after Jan. 6 and leaving office is through his endorsements — 93 of them in total, according to NBC News’s count — both in GOP primaries and general elections. He’s endorsed many incumbents and high-profile challengers, but is also attempting to boost some political novices with his political strength, too.
Of these 93 endorsements:
* 73 are men, 20 are women
* 35 are candidates for the U.S. House
* 15 are U.S. Senate candidates
* 12 are running for governor
* 15 are challenging GOP incumbents
* 59 have questioned the 2020 election results, including by voting against the Electoral College certification in Congress.
In addition to questioning the 2020 election result, 10 candidates who received Trump’s endorsement attended his rally in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump’s win/loss record in these races will be one good metric to gauge his ultimate political strength, particularly in GOP primaries. First up on that primary calendar is March 1 in Texas, where Trump has backed 21 candidates — the most of any state — from governor down to county judge.
And there could be more endorsements to come. Trump has yet to take a side in wide open GOP Senate primaries in Arizona, Missouri and Ohio, and gubernatorial primaries in a handful of competitive races. So stay tuned.

That’s the number of states where Trump has endorsed at least five candidates — Texas (21 candidates), Michigan (13), Florida (9), Georgia (5) and Arizona (5).
The former president has a preferred slate for almost every statewide office in the Lone Star State: governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and land commissioner, along with a large slate of congressional endorsements and a few down-ballot races.
Ten of Trump’s endorsements in Michigan are at the state legislative level, as he’s declared the state “needs a new legislature .. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/news/news-tsxbe9gefc1054 ” that would not “refuse to conduct a Forensic Audit.”
Trump’s endorsements in his adopted home state of Florida are largely incumbent members of Congress. And his moves in Georgia and Arizona come in two states he focused on significantly in the wake of his 2020 loss.
