Kari Lake looks to harness her movement after Arizona loss
Associated PressPHOENIX — Brett Foto and his fiancee were vacationing in Phoenix last fall when they heard about a rally nearby for Kari Lake, then running for governor of Arizona. “We’re going to look back and say, ‘We saw her when we went to this little hangar in Phoenix.’” Lake went on to lose that race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, a setback that would typically thwart political ambitions. In the months since the election, Lake has popped up at former President Donald Trump’s Florida estate and a palatial California hotel, where she unsuccessfully lobbied members of the Republican National Committee to defeat Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. She expresses their angst and anxiety over the way the country’s going.” Meanwhile, Lake is continuing to fight her loss in the Arizona appellate courts, which rejected her election challenge Thursday. Foto, who saw Lake on his Arizona vacation, was not deterred by her loss to Hobbs and hopes she’ll take another stab at running for office.
