Kari Lake is preparing to launch her Senate campaign this fall, setting up a potential three-way race with incumbent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).
Lake, the polarizing conservative who lost her election for governor last year, is expected to begin interviewing and hiring consultants and staff in anticipation of an October launch date, according to reporting from Axios.Over the last couple of months, the race has been at a standstill. Gallego, the progressive likely Democratic nominee, has been campaigning across the state.
Lake was among one of the most vocal of last year’s Republican candidates who promoted former President Donald Trump’s claims to have won the 2020 election. After narrowly losing her bid for governor to Democrat Katie Hobbs, Lake continues to challenge the outcome and has never conceded her gubernatorial loss in 2022.
Lake has appeared on the campaign trail, supporting other GOP office-seekers, including Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno recently. “If Kari Lake is the Republican nominee for Senate, it’s an automatic loss for Republicans in our state,” said a GOP strategist who requested anonymity. “It’s just very difficult to sit back and watch our party make the same mistakes over and over. We will deserve to lose if she’s our candidate.”
