Lake bids adieu to politics, no concession, in video

(The Center Square) – While not a concession, Republican Arizona U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake has released a video thanking Arizonans for supporting her throughout her attempt at a political career and spreading support for President Donald Trump’s win in addition to a Republican majority in both chambers of Congress.

“As for me? Well, I can say for certain that truth will never stop mattering to me,” Lake said. “You will never stop mattering to me. These memories that we’ve made together will never go away. They will grow sweeter over time and I will never stop fighting for the state I love.”

Lake lost the race for Kyrsten Sinema’s U.S. Senate seat to Democrat Ruben Gallego by 79,102 votes at 99% of precincts reporting. Lake started her political journey by running for Arizona governor in 2022, but lost to Gov. Katie Hobbs. Lake has yet to accept that loss, resulting in years of litigation that have not concluded in her favor.

Prior to this, Lake worked as a TV anchor for three decades before walking away from the “fake news.”

“For 30 years you trusted me to bring the news into your homes, to tell you the truth,” Lake said. “About three years ago, I walked away from a seven figure contract in the fake news because I couldn’t lie to you. What good is money if it comes at the cost of your soul?”

Lake has run her campaign on a MAGA campaign, being endorsed by Trump and while Trump won Arizona in the presidential election, pollsters have attributed this split ticket to Lake’s inability to garner support from Independent and undecided voters.

“Arizona is a light red state,” said NPI CEO and Founder Mike Noble in a post-election report. “No matter how you measure it – party registration, party identification, recalled past vote – it’s just a red state. So someone like Gallego needed to post exceptional numbers among Independents and Democrats while peeling off some Republicans. Our polling showed Gallego doing just that. We found, across many surveys, that Lake was closing the gap as Election Day neared – but that it wouldn’t be enough to erase Gallego’s lead. He’s cemented himself as a national player with this performance.”

Even with Lake’s loss, Republicans were able to maintain a 53-47 majority in the U.S. Senate. Lake has yet to announce where she intends to set her sights in the future, political or otherwise.
