BREAKING: Kari Lake, a former longtime local news anchor backed by Donald Trump, will win the Republican primary in Arizona's race for governor, ABC News projects.
August 04, 2022, 10:27 PMFormer President Donald Trump embraces Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake at a"Save America" rally in support of GOP candidates in Prescott Valley, Ariz., July 22, 2022.
Taylor Robson spent more than $15 million of her own money on the race, but it was Lake's "ultra-MAGA" and "America First" stance, coupled with her repetition of Trump's Big Lie, that ultimately prevailed, after a campaign season filled with attack ads from all angles, which Democratic nominee for governor Katie Hobbs described as a "primary race to the bottom.
Lake dismissed questions Wednesday on how she could declare victory in an election that she doesn't have any confidence in and why voters should trust that she won this election fair and square, claiming to have evidence of irregularities but refusing to provide evidence of wrongdoing to the press.
