BREAKING: Former TV news anchor Kari Lake wins the Republican nomination for Arizona governor. Lake, who was endorsed by Donald Trump, has aggressively promoted his 2020 election lies. Lake will face Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in November.
Early election results showing only mail ballots received before Election Day gave Robson a solid lead, but that was whittled down as votes from polling places were added to the tally. Lake’s victory became clear Thursday when Maricopa County released results from thousands of mail ballots dropped off at the polls on Tuesday.
Former Vice President Mike Pence, Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie allLake now faces the daunting task of uniting the Republican Party after a bruising primary. She attempted to reach out to Robson and others she fiercely criticized as RINOs, or Republicans in Name Only, who don’t align with Trump on key issues.
“We outvoted the fraud,” Lake said. She pointed to problems in one county, which ran out of ballots in some precincts and had to print more, but she and her attorney, Tim La Sota, refused to provide evidence backing up her claims of fraud.
