Flake, R-Ariz., is crossing party lines to endorse a Democrat for the second presidential election in a row.

I believe in the rule of law,” Flake said during an interview at The Nile Coffee Shop in Mesa on Saturday afternoon.

And I think that if you look at the two candidates, Kamala Harris represents more of those views than Donald Trump,” Flake said.

Flake and Harris were on the Senate Judiciary Committee together, and Flake got to know Walz even earlier, when they served in the House.

Biden nominated Flake to serve as U.S. ambassador to Turkey in 2021 and he assumed the post in 2022.

For his part, Trump did not reach out to Flake to ask for an endorsement this election cycle.

“He may, I guess, I don’t know, call me ‘Flaky Flake’ or whatever he called me before,” Flake said. »

Umaibo held on to its 10-yen price point all the way until 2022 (when the exchange rate made 10 yen the equivalent of about US$0.08) before Yaokin announced the product’s first-ever price increase, to 12 yen.

As of October 1, we will be revising the price of our snack product Umaibo. »
