Supported by Donald Trump, Kari Lake questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 US presidential election. In the gubernatorial election in Arizona, she was defeated by the Democratic candidate.
DAccording to media reports, the candidate Kari Lake, who was supported by former US President Donald Trump, lost the gubernatorial election in the state of Arizona to Democrat Katie Hobbs. Hobbs prevailed after a tight race against her Republican rival, as reported by US broadcasters CNN and NBC on Monday (local time). Lake is a die-hard Trump supporter. The former television news anchor, like her mentor, regularly raises doubts about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election.
Several Trump-backed candidates suffered electoral defeats in last Tuesday’s congressional and gubernatorial elections, which has weakened the 76-year-old’s position within his party just ahead of the expected announcement of his renewed presidential candidacy.
Trump promised a “very big announcement” on Tuesday evening at his private home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida. The right-wing populist is then expected to announce that he wants to run in the 2024 presidential election.
