For Star subscribers: Republican candidates for Arizona's statewide offices needed to show certainty that Trump was cheated in 2020 to win their primaries. But now they just need a few undecided voters.
To win the GOP primary election, candidates for governor, attorney general and the other statewide offices had to get the endorsement of Donald Trump. And to get the endorsement of Donald Trump, they had to say he was robbed of the 2020 election.Kari Lake said it as clearly as anyone when she said of Joe Biden,"He lost the election, and he shouldn’t be in the White House.”
But now it's the general election campaign, and for most of them, their previous strident declarations of certainty are mellowing into measured statements of concern. Now he's not acting so certain. In response to Simons, he said,"All Arizonans want right now is free, fair and competent elections. The media has shifted the narrative by saying there was no fraud to saying there wasn’t enough fraud to overturn the elections."
In November 2021, he put out a video in which he announced starkly,"I think Trump won in 2020." He also argued that"The 2020 election wasn’t free or fair. And Brnovich clearly didn’t want President Trump to win." This is a similar counterfactual argument to the one some Democrats have made about Russian influence on the 2016 campaign — that without it, Hillary Clinton would have won.
