Trump ally Kari Lake wins GOP primary for Arizona governor

Associated Press  

PHOENIX — Kari Lake, a former news anchor who walked away from her journalism career and was embraced by Donald Trump and his staunch supporters, won the Republican primary for Arizona governor on Thursday. Lake’s victory was a blow to the GOP establishment that lined up behind lawyer and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson in an attempt to push their party past the chaotic Trump era. Lake said she would not have certified President Joe Biden’s 2020 victory and put false claims of election fraud at the center of her campaign. “I accept the results, I trust the process and the people who administer it.” In a midterm primary season with mixed results for Trump’s favored candidates, the former president came out on top in Arizona, a state that has been central to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and cast doubt on Biden’s victory. “And I hope that she will come over for this.” Robson said she’s spent her life supporting Republicans, “and it is my hope that our Republican nominees are successful in November.” Like Trump, Lake courts controversy and confrontation.
