AZ Governor Kari Lake Announces Resignation - WTF?

Kari Lake to launch Arizona Senate bid next month

The close ally of Trump is looking to run in the swing state again.

www.politico.com

"Arizona Republican Kari Lake will launch a Senate run as soon as early next month, according to three people familiar with her plans. She has been active in national politics since her 2022 loss and this week alone she’s headlining events in Iowa and Michigan. There is no specific date set for Lake’s launch but it will almost certainly come in the month of October, according to a person familiar with her plans who was granted anonymity to speak candidly.

Sinema’s switch to become an independent last year roiled the race for her seat. She has not said whether or not she will seek reelection and Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego already launched a Senate campaign. On the GOP side, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb is running. The New York Times reported that Trump called Masters shortly after news broke of his Senate plans and expressed doubt that he could beat Lake in a primary. Masters lost a 2022 bid to Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly after some GOP leaders soured on his campaign."

Why would Kari stop being governor (which she totally is because she totally won and is totally the real Governor) to run for Senate? She had irrefutable proof that she won that election and it is legitimate governor of Arizona - Running for the Senate seems more like a step down for someone of her political brilliance. Also, if she is poised to be Trump's VP pick when he is re-elected in 2024, it would be hard for her to be both a US Senator and VP at the same time - however, if anyone can pull that off, it is Kari Lake.

It's just said to see her quit as Governor only to let a Democrat take over her office; that is basically letting them win. She should have stayed and fought, but I am sure she knows best and if this is the right move, so be it. At least this time, she won't have to worry about Dems stealing the election because, well - it depends on if she wins or not....if she loses, then obviously it was another election stolen.

Yes but the OP is wrong.

She will continue to draw the Governor pay while campaigning for the Senate. She hasn't resigned.

Some are say'n...

..... ..... Can't say who...

..... ..... ..... ..... ..... ..... That she is going to get a special law passed allowing her to be BOTH Governor and Senator at the same time.

You want something? How about the 2020 election was not stolen? That is a huge lie. That Ukraine is worth defending when they are Nazis. That Trump is a criminal is also desperate bullshit that you believe.

Oh, you do not think the 2020 election was fair and Biden won? And attack attack is better than your lie after lie. Hack.

Democrats are lying fucking asswipes right now.

And anyone LOYAL to these morons is BEYOND an idiotic asswipe.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Why is someone running for the Senate in AZ headlining events in Iowa and Michigan?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Democrats will never admit the election was stolen.

And you will never admit it was not.

It warms my heart knowing you will go to your grave pissed off about the election being stolen but your beloved party being unable to prove a single thing.

Why is someone running for the Senate in AZ headlining events in Iowa and Michigan?

Seeking out of state campaign contributions and PAC financing to run for the AZ Senate seat.
