According to recent new reports, Kari Lake of Arizona is still contesting the results of the recent Arizona governor race.
Lake lost that election, but she is now turning her attention to the state’s 2024 Senate contest.
Lake has her eyes set on the stage for a political bounceback while worrying some Republicans.
Lake Makes Shocking Announcement
Many members of the GOP have expressed concern for Lake, saying she is too extreme to win a general election.
"Ms. Lake, an ally of former President Donald Trump, has said she is focused on her election lawsuits, but aides say she is considering entering the race for Senate. Her entrance would add further unpredictability to what could be a three-way contest for the seat currently held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Republicans see the seat as a prime pickup opportunity as they try to win back the Senate," reported Wall Street Journal.
"The GOP field is completely paralyzed, waiting for her next steps," said Caroline Wren, senior adviser to Lake.
"They, like the media, know that Kari will dominate a primary election and sprint through a general race" to win the seat for the party," Wren added.
"Ms. Lake would be very tough to beat in a GOP primary," said Mike Noble, chief of research at the nonpartisan Phoenix-based polling company OH Predictive Insights.
Noble added that Lake would "have a big problem heading into the general election" as some voters turned off by a Trump-aligned candidate would distance themselves from the GOP.
