Summary

  • The Arizona senator praised the local turnout in a social media post, writing that Tucson and La Rosa “sure know how to do the World Cup.”
  • Kelly’s public support for Mexico stood out because his social media accounts have shown little visible backing for the U.S. men’s team during the tournament.
