Exclusive: Arizona Republican Kari Lake Floats Possible U.S. Senate Run
Nick Gilbertson 1 Jul 2023
Arizona Republican Kari Lake teased a possible run for U.S. Senate while appearing on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Fourth of July Special, where she also spoke about her new book Unafraid: Just Getting Started.
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked Lake, last year’s Republican gubernatorial nominee in Arizona, if she was considering another bid for office in the Grand Canyon State. Lake, who had the backing of the MAGA coalition and is challenging her razor-thin election loss, said she is thinking of another run, though she emphasized she has not given up her legal battle.
“Politics is gross. It’s a slimy business, but I think we need real people to be in it. And so I am contemplating running for office again,” Lake said. “I want everyone out there to know we have filed a notice of appeal on our case. We’re not giving up on securing our elections and reforming our elections, and we’re going to work through the court system.”
“I may run for Senate, I’m considering that,” she added. “It’s something I may have to do because we can’t have people who don’t care about Arizonans representing us in Washington, DC. Got a lot of options on the table. I’m taking a look at all of them, and I’ll be making some decisions here in the coming months.”
Notably, Republican Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb has announced a bid for the U.S. Senate and would be a primary opponent of Lake if she runs. Moreover, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) has launched a campaign for the Democrat nomination as Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) defected from the Democrat Party last year to become an independent. Sinema is reportedly plotting a bid as well, setting up the prospects for a three-way showdown.

She needs to hang in there, become governor of Arizona, and clean that mess up. Once she gets that done, she will be a shoo in for anything she wants later.

Trump/Lake 2024
Nah. She's better than that. Lake should not play second fiddle to Trump who is more like the kid banjo player in Deliverance.

:bingo:
This would be her giving up on/giving in to the election fraud of 2022.

She needs to help galvanize the party right.
Whether she does that working in the state or in the senate, we need her to be a leader.
I really don't like her tieing herself to Trump.

I agree. Washington will just put her in a position to be treated like MTG, from inside the GOP, to boot.

I have not been able to see what she is doing.
Hopefully she continues to connect.
She does need to just shut up about Trump. He's not getting my support this time.

So I pulled off my message agreeing with you.
As of late, she's in desperation mode.
Even if she beats Mark Lamb, Gallego is going to fry her for breakfast.
If you don't know who Gallego is, run....and be very afraid

"Floats".....
Now it's more like "Flounders".......

If those 15% voted for her, she slams Gallego to the ground. Shuts his pie-hole for good and goes off to Washington D.C.
But read on....one of her biggest issues....she can't let go of 2020. That's her right.
But she is going to occupy the R side of the ballot and hand the election to that jackass. If she loses this, I don't ever want to hear her name again.
When the Governor race comes up in 2026, I want nothing to do with her and I will push the people I know to take the same stance.
