While Donald Trump won the Arizona presidential primary-preference election, the state elected almost all Ted Cruz-supporting delegates to the convention. Chairman Lines was then faced with the challenge of uniting the party before the mid-term elections.

In 2019, Lines lost re-election to former state Senator Kelli Ward.^[4]
