Kari Lake, a former newscaster in Phoenix and a gubernatorial candidate for the Arizona GOP in 2022, has hinted that she may run for the U.S. Senate. Lake, who has been speculated as a potential vice-presidential candidate, is reportedly considering a Senate bid and has garnered attention due to her ties to Donald Trump. According to a recent poll, Lake enjoys a commanding lead of 28 points over other potential GOP candidates in a hypothetical 2024 Senate primary. A survey conducted in April found that 38% of registered Arizona Republicans and unaffiliated voters would support Lake in a bid for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s seat.

Lake has been challenging the results of the Arizona gubernatorial race, which she lost under suspicious circumstances in an extremely close, since November 2022. However, the courts have been unwilling to entertain her claims, and she has not won any favorable rulings. As a result, Lake may be considering a fresh start by running for a different office. Some have even speculated that she is being considered for the vice presidency by Trump. In the meantime, rumors are swirling that Lake may be contemplating a run for the U.S. Senate.
According to Conservative Brief:
Should Lake decide on a Senate run, however, she already appears to have an advantage. Last month, one survey had Lake ahead of all other possible candidates in a hypothetical 2024 GOP Senate primary by 28 points, as reported by Just the News.
A recent poll conducted by JL Partners from April 10-12 showed that despite not announcing her plans to run for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-Ariz.) seat, 38% of registered Arizona Republicans and undeclared voters would vote for Kari Lake. Karrin Taylor Robson, who lost the GOP gubernatorial primary to Lake last year, came in second place with 10% support.
“Following Robson, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb has 8%, 2022 Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters has 7% and 2022 Arizona Attorney General candidate Abraham Hamadeh has 4%,” the outlet reported. “No Arizona Republicans have entered the 2024 Senate primary, but Lake, Masters and Hamadeh were all endorsed by former President Donald Trump last year in their respective primaries.”
The same survey found that in a hypothetical contest for the GOP presidential nomination next year, Trump is preferred over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) by 23 points, with 47% supporting Trump and 24% supporting DeSantis, while 11% of voters were undecided.
It seems that Kari Lake will continue to play a significant role in Conservative politics in the years to come. Her Gubernatorial race in 2022 was highly controversial and sparked outrage among many Americans. In the wake of both the 2020 Presidential race and Lake’s own election, there has been a growing sentiment that greater oversight is needed to ensure the integrity of our elections.
Many people are now concerned about issues such as tech censorship, biased media interference, and the potential for voting machine malfunctions, which have fueled sympathy for both Lake and Trump’s claims of a flawed electoral process in the United States. As a result, Lake is likely to remain a prominent figure in the Conservative movement, advocating for election reform and transparency in our democratic processes.
