To the bitter end, she claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from Mr. Trump, who urged other Republicans to follow her lead. “Look at Kari,” Mr. Trump enthused. “If they say, ‘How is your family?’ she says, ‘The election was rigged and stolen.’” Yet this strategy alienated independents and even many Republicans. Ms. Lake lost 49.6% to 50.3%, even while other GOP candidates won, including state Treasurer Kimberly Yee’s 55.7% to 44.3% victory.
Hence the new Kari Lake, who is focusing on the issues, including the border crisis and rising prices. “There is not a gas pump out there for Republicans, and one for Democrats, right?” she said. “There’s not an inflation rate for Republicans, and then a separate one for Democrats. All Arizonans are feeling the stress of Biden’s reckless spending.”
Ms. Lake’s edge hasn’t been dulled: She told the crowd that she misses Mr. Trump’s mean tweets, poked the “fake news fools” covering her speech, and promised to “stop the push toward communism.” But her few nebulous lines about election integrity almost could have been uttered by any other Republican official, say, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
“I am never going to walk away from the fight to restore honest elections,” Ms. Lake said. “I’m never going to stop until every voter feels confident that their one legal vote counts.”
The Arizona Senate race is difficult to handicap, since it’s likely to be a three-way contest. The incumbent, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, left the Democrats to become an independent. She’s being attacked from the left by Rep. Ruben Gallego, the probable Democratic nominee. Normally this split would redound to the GOP’s benefit, except that Ms. Lake is so polarizing. Ms. Sinema is probably hoping that she can run up the center if Ms. Lake gets the Republican nod.
