Kari Lake

Kari Lake, a former news anchor, and Arizona gubernatorial candidate in 2022, has emerged as a potential running mate for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. She has gained popularity among Trump’s loyal MAGA base and even won a straw poll at CPAC for the Republican vice presidential nominee. Lake has been seen at various events with Trump and has shown unwavering loyalty to him, even going so far as to kiss a portrait of him during a keynote event dinner, which garnered mixed reactions.

Sources close to Trump have stated that he is interested in selecting a woman for the vice presidential role and sees Lake as a potential candidate. Despite her loss in the gubernatorial race, Lake has demonstrated a skill for conspiracy theories, media bashing, and pro-Trump rhetoric, making her an asset to the MAGA movement. Other women on Trump’s shortlist include Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kristi Noem, and Nikki Haley.

However, it’s unclear if Lake has had any formal discussions with Trump or his campaign officials regarding the vice presidential role. Nonetheless, she has expressed her full support for Trump and willingness to comply with his requests, making her an appealing running mate for the former president. It remains to be seen whether Trump will ultimately select her for the position.
