Even Republicans Say Kari Lake Is Headed for Defeat

“For Kari Lake’s Senate campaign, things have gone from bad to worse,” NOTUS reports.

“Just weeks out from Election Day, a poll had her trailing her Democratic opponent in the Arizona Senate race by double-digit points, her largest deficit to date. She didn’t get the backing of the Arizona Police Association, which gave its endorsement to her Democratic opponent instead, even though the traditionally Republican group endorsed her two years ago during her unsuccessful gubernatorial run. Lake is also at a financial disadvantage to Rep. Ruben Gallego, who has vastly outraised her as long as she’s been in the race.”

“Insiders attribute the campaign’s free fall to personal animus and position flip-flopping, particularly on abortion, leaving a growing number of independents and Republicans in the state running to Gallego. It’s frustrating Republicans, especially in Arizona.”
