In a closely watched Arizona Republican Senate primary, Kari Lake has emerged victorious, securing the party's nomination. This sets the stage for a high-stakes general election contest against Democrat Ruben Gallego.
Kari Lake, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has emerged victorious in the Arizona Republican Senate primary, defeating Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb by a significant margin of 55% to 39% with roughly 95% of the expected vote tallied. Former news anchor Elizabeth Reyes finished a distant third.
Lake's primary win represents a significant victory for the conservative wing of the Republican Party in Arizona. The former news anchor has positioned herself as a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump and his political agenda.
The general election matchup between Lake and Gallego is expected to be a hard-fought and closely watched race, with both candidates vying to represent Arizona in the U.S. Senate. Gallego, a Democratic Congressman, will be aiming to flip the seat for his party in a state that has become an increasingly important battleground in recent election cycles.
