Kari Lake Beats Her Trumpy Rival in Arizona Senate Primary
Kari Lake, a former local news anchor-turned-conspiracy minded Republican firebrand, is projected to win the party’s Arizona Senate primary Tuesday and will head to a general election this November whose winner will replace outgoing independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.
With 66% of the votes counted, Lake was projected to win the primary with 53.3% of the vote, according to The New York Times. The Associated Press also confirmed her win.
“Thank you for putting your faith in me, Arizona. I won’t let you down,” Lake wrote on X. “Together, we’re going to save this state. Together, we’re going to #MakeArizonaGrandAgain.”
