Kari Lake says she won't seek office again

Source: The Hill

12/28/24 10:08 PM ET


Kari Lake, a GOP Senate candidate in Arizona who lost her campaign against Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) this past election cycle, said she will not seek political office again.

“We know the movement that we have in Arizona, and I will never take that for granted. But there is a corrupt machine here that is hellbent on making sure I never hold office. So, I won’t put my family (and myself) through the torture of running again,” Lake wrote in a post on X on Saturday.

Gallego, who had served in the House for nearly a decade representing a Phoenix-based seat, secured his victory against Lake, garnering 50.1 percent of the vote compared to Lake’s 47.7 percent, a polling aggregate from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) concluded.

Lake announced her Senate bid in October 2023 and entered the race for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-Ariz.) seat as the heavy favorite for the GOP nomination. The Republican is a sharp ally of President-elect Trump, who endorsed her in a video on social media. Lake had previously denied her loss in Arizona’s gubernatorial race in 2022.

One progressive Democrat, I know said to me that he could understand why people voted for her because she was so pretty. I asked him if you vote for her, Do you get to fuck her? When he laughed, I said you may laugh, but that’s the point isn’t it?

I wouldn't touch her with yours. Yuk. She may be attractive on the surface, but there's some deep ugly underneath.

Well, it's good to see that she now knows that she will never win a state wide election in Arizona.

“After much prayer/reflection, and in talking with my family” blah blah blah.

The grift never ends with maga.

primary, IMO (the AZ GOP tried to stop her from running this year) - I think even the most idiotic AZ Republicans are now aware of just how costly their support of her has been.
