Republican who lost state governor’s race but never conceded has challenged her defeat in court, so far unsuccessfully
Kari Lake, the Republican candidate who lost the race for Arizona governor but never conceded her loss, announced a run for US Senate in the western state Tuesday.
A former TV news anchor, Lake made her move into politics by making repeated false claims about elections. She aligned closely with former president Donald Trump and has been floated as a potential running mate for Trump, who once praised Lake for her ability to constantly bring up election fraud.
Lake has taken her election denials to court, so far unsuccessfully, in her attempt to claim she’s the rightful governor of Arizona. Her legal team has been hit with court sanctions in two different cases.
On the one hand, how the fuck does she continue to make enough donation money to run on the Republican ticket?
On the other hand, she's siphoning money away from other candidates just to lose, so I'm here with my popcorn.
