Kari Lake

Lake, however, asserted that Hillyard was just trying to “make this about” him. (Brnovich’s office found only one voter who was deceased before the election.) Once an Obama-supporting local news anchor, Lake in recent years turned into a Trump acolyte and has become a GOP frontrunner primarily due to her embrace of the twice-impeached ex-president’s election lies.

Robson told Fox News in an interview late last month, 'I'm the better choice because I don't need on the job training. Lamon signed a certificate falsely stating that Trump had won Arizona in 2020 and that he was one of the state's 'duly elected and qualified' electors. Masters emphasized cultural grievances that animate the right, including critical race theory and allegations of big tech censorship.

The race for the Republican nomination for governor is seen as a proxy war between the two men weighing up a 2024 run for president.

She is projected to win her primary, with a comprehensive lead over second placed Marco Lopez. Those votes are not counted yet," Lake said, via KTAR. "There is no path to victory for my opponent and we won this race. She was behind by nine points at around the midway stage of the count. It may also give an indication of whether Republican voters are ready to move on from 2020. Period." As a result, the GOP primary for governor in Arizona has the subplot of being the center of a proxy war between Trump and Pence—with both men reportedly considering a 2024 run for president.

Trump-backed Kari Lake resorted to claims of election fraud as Pence-backed Karrin Taylor Robson's campaign surged.

With the election of Sen. Mark Kelly in 2020, Arizona has been represented by two Democratic senators for the first time since the 1950s. Conspiracy theorists from Trump world in attendance included the MyPillow executive Mike Lindell and Mark Finchem, a member of the far-right Oath Keepers who is running for secretary of state. The ascendancy of Trumpian politics in Arizona has coincided with Democratic victories in statewide races. Lake is a former local Fox 10 news anchor who says she left the business — and the Democratic Party — to run for governor because she was tired of being silenced. Late last month, the two former White House colleagues campaigned for their respective endorsees in different areas of the Western state. Taylor Robson has said Joe Biden “may” have won the 2020 election but it was nevertheless unfair.

PHOENIX — Republican Arizona gubernatorial candidates Karrin Taylor Robson and Kari Lake both spoke to supporters on primary Election Day, with each stating ...

“This is why we are in this race. This is why we have this movement right here.” “Remember, talk is cheap. There is no path to victory for my opponent and we won this race. “We’re way ahead,” Taylor Robson said. “Whether you cast a ballot for me or one of my opponents, every legitimate vote counts.”

Last year, Kari Lake, a news anchor at Fox 10, a local TV station in Phoenix, announced in a video posted to social media that, following a period of leave, ...

- And the South African investigative site amaBhunganewrote about the demise of New Frame, a left-leaning outlet that amaBhungane says was funded by a China-based US tech mogul. Throughout his time at NPR, Sanders “had been honing a persona that felt cramped on public radio but takes center stage on Into It: uncensored, uninhibited, and unbothered.” (ICYMI, Sanders wrote about “hard and soft news” for CJR last year.) “Most exasperating to her advocates” have been “the questions about her preparedness for the top job, an especially sensitive line of inquiry ever since the 79-year-old Biden contracted covid”—questions that stem “mostly from her occasionally stumbling responses to journalists.” Per Debenedetti, recently appointed staffers have suggested that Harris “take advantage of interviews with celebrities and influencers to reach nonpolitically focused audiences.” - Annie Lowrey, of The Atlantic,wrote about how her two pregnancies put her life at risk, and the reality that women will be forced to carry dangerous pregnancies to term post-Roe. “Worst-of-the-worst stories are beginning to surface in the press, an appalling countdown clock tick-tocking until Americans learn of the first woman who dies after being denied a termination since Roe was overturned,” Lowrey writes. She has already suggested that her own upcoming election is being stolen, and the Daily Beast has described her as “Exhibit A in the Trump team’s plan to install friendly governors in states to potentially overturn votes in his favor in 2024.” Lake has won the backing of a rogues’ gallery of election deniers, not least Trump himself. - Brammhi Balarajan, Yiwen Lu, Bahar Ostadan, Omar Rashad, and Samson Zhang, of the Asian American Journalists Association’s Voices website,analyzed the makeup of the judging panels that give out four of the most prestigious awards in journalism, and found them to be lacking in racial and ethnic diversity.

The BBC’s Secunder Kermani shared a photo this morningof the house in Kabul where Zawahiri was believed to have been staying; Taliban officials insisted there was “nothing to see” there, per Kermani, but pointed guns at members of the media who approached the house. The potential for that trust to be abused poses a danger that is particular to the form. One particularly interesting case is that of Mark Ronchetti, a TV meteorologist at KRQE in Albuquerque. In 2020, Ronchetti ran for a US Senate seat in the state and came pretty close to taking it, winning the Republican nomination before losing narrowly in November. Ronchetti then returned to his old job at KRQE, a move that alarmed a local chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, which warned about the potential for “political influence” and raised concerns about Ronchetti’s support of Trump, given the latter’s media-bashing. Some of these candidates have run or are running in very local races; others—like Gail Huff Brown, a former anchor in New England who is running for a US House seat in New Hampshire and is married to the former US senator and ambassador Scott Brown—have more expansive credentials than their media work. Since announcing her candidacy, Lake has drawn national-media scrutiny for advancing a range of extreme positions, most notably the lie that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that Donald Trump actually won. “Sadly, journalism has changed a lot since I first stepped into a newsroom, and I’ll be honest—I don’t like the direction it’s going,” Lake said.

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — “First the good news. We're way ahead,” said GOP gubernatorial candidate Karrin Taylor Robson told supporters around 10:15 p.m. on ...

In U.S. House District 6, Juan Ciscomani won for the Republicans while Kirsten Engel won for the Democrats. The main ones were Katie Hobbs for the Democratic nomination for governor, Kimberly Yee for the GOP nomination for state treasurer and Rep. Paul Gosar in the Republican primary for U.S. House District 9. House Speaker Rusty Bowers faces a 61%-39% deficit in the state Senate District 10 race for the Republican nomination against David Farnsworth. GOP Rep. David Schweikert is likely to survive for primary for U.S. House District 1, while Jevin Hodge has a 62% to 38% lead over Adam Metzendorf on the Democratic side. But we will respect the process and wait for the numbers to come in,” Fontes said in a tweet. On the Democrats’ side, Adrian Fontes has a 53% to 47% lead over Reginald Bolding for the nomination for secretary of state. “Thank you for your hard work, your support in making me your Republican nominee for the United States Senate.” For the Republican nomination for state Attorney General, Abraham Hamadeh has the lead with 30% of the vote, Rodney Glassman has 24% and Andy Gould received 18% so far. In the race for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, Blake Masters has 37% of the vote, with Jim Lamon at 30% and Mark Brnovich at 19%, as of 11:45 p.m. on Tuesday. Masters addressed supporters just after 11 p.m. on Tuesday, claiming victory. Hodge said in a statement he had a clear victory. There are other races that haven’t been officially called but the leader is likely to win. The GOP nomination for Arizona governor is just one of a few major races in the state that no winner has been declared. We’re way ahead,” said GOP gubernatorial candidate Karrin Taylor Robson told supporters around 10:15 p.m. on Tuesday. But that was when she was up by 8 points over Kari Lake. As of 11:45 p.m., Robson’s lead had dwindled to 47% to 43% over Lake so the race is far from over.

The two women are seeking to succeed term-limited Gov. Doug Ducey, a Republican. We won this race." As of Wednesday morning, Lake had 46.2% of the vote, and Taylor Robson had 44.5% in the Republican primary.

Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake took the overnight lead against Karrin Taylor Robson, 46% to 44%.

Early in July, Lake announced on Twitter that former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio endorsed her with three weeks left in the race. PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake took the overnight lead against Karrin Taylor Robson, with 46% to 44% of the vote. We won this race.” Some of her supporters were seen praying in a circle around 10 p.m.

Kari Lake -- who backed by Donald Trump -- held a lead of fewer than 12000 votes over Karrin Taylor Robson, a member of Arizona's Board of Regents.

And that’s one of the reasons why I’m standing here,” Lake told a crowd of supporters, according to the Arizona Republic. Because at the end of the day, we’re going to win this thing.” “Whether you cast a ballot for me or one of my opponents, every legitimate vote counts.” Robson — who also was endorsed by former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and term-limited Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey — encouraged her backers not to lose confidence, telling them to “keep calm. “There are a lot of good people involved in this process and it is vitally important that they take the time necessary to get it right,” Robson said. The Republican gubernatorial primary in Arizona was too close to call Wednesday as candidates endorsed by former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence held the top two spots.

Congratulations to my home state for full making the transition to full blown MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster"

"This is the Cindy McCain branch of the Republican Party," said of the establishment GOP on a podcast. In response, McCain quickly backtracked, claiming that "my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead." "The voters have spoken - be careful what you wish for…"

The winner will advance to the November general election to take on Secretary of State Katie Hobbs.

Democratic nominee Hobbs, as Arizona’s top elections official, endeared herself to party voters with an impassioned defense of the integrity of the 2020 election, a stance that has drawn death threats. Lake is well known in much of the state after anchoring the evening news in Phoenix for more than two decades. She also emphasized Lake's prior support for Democrats, including a $350 contribution to the last Democratic president. Finchem was at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — the day of the riot — and claims Trump was cheated out of a second term. Federal and state election officials and Trump’s own attorney general have said there is no credible evidence the 2020 election was tainted. Trump endorsed and campaigned for a group of candidates who supported his falsehoods about the 2020 election, including Lake, who says she would have refused to certify President Joe Biden's narrow Arizona victory.

Kari Lake, the GOP candidate for Governor in Arizona, is tweeting her way to victory in the Republican primary.

Right-wing accounts have been quick to hop on the bandwagon of accepting the Lake victory as fact. Lake advocated for the imprisonment of her would-be opponent in the general election in November, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, citing unspecified election crimes. Lake cozied up to the former president, repeatedly denouncing the results of the 2020 election and advocating for stricter election laws in her campaign speeches.

The Trump-endorsed champion of voter-fraud allegations now gets to experience the slow uncertainty of tallying votes first-hand.

Again, Lake’s lead (unlike Scott’s in 2018 or Trump’s deficit in 2020) is probably large enough that she will be certified as the winner. But it establishes the idea that the race is hers, setting the stage for the candidate and her team to potentially present that any shift in Robson’s favor as illicit or fraudulent. The two counties that have reported outstanding votes are both ones in which Lake is leading. He earned only 39 percent of the vote against his competitors’ 29 percent and 18 percent, but in a first-past-the-post contest, that was enough. The difference, of course, is that Lake took the lead as votes were counted. That Lake is still waiting to see if she won and Masters isn’t is in part a function of the field of candidates in each race.

With at least 150000 votes left to count, Kari Lake declared victory Wednesday in the Republican primary for governor.

I'm not going to change. Because I won doesn't mean I'm going to now pivot and try to be a Democrat." - Lake also said she held her victory press conference a day early because she wanted to take the night off to celebrate her wedding anniversary with her husband.

After a year of blasting fellow Republicans, Kari Lake wants all RINOS, doormats, golddiggers and globalists to get behind her campaign for governor.

“It just shows you how dangerous the RINO-class of the Republican Party is,” Lake said on Steve Bannon’s podcast. Ward not only took sides in multiple Republican primaries. And this is why they stabbed President Trump in the back on the fourth of November and we remember that.” Let’s do this!” “This is the Cindy McCain branch of the Republican Party. They’re not Republicans. They’re globalists and they want – I think they want an end to America. They want a globalist agenda, a new world order, whatever you want to call it.” Lake, who defeated Karrin Taylor Robson in the GOP governor’s race, held a news conference on Wednesday to take a victory lap and call on Republicans to come together for the coming campaign for governor.
