It wasn’t looking good for Kari Lake when people went to bed last night in Arizona.
But come the morning, she may have pulled it out, although people are still saying it’s too close to call in the Arizona gubernatorial race.
Right now she’s ahead by 11,324 votes — she’s at 46.2 percent of the vote and Karrin Taylor Robson is at 44.5. Donald Trump has endorsed Lake. Taylor Robson, the former governor, endorsed her. Mike Pence as well as Doug Ducey. Although approximately 88 percent are registered, a lead of more than 11,000 votes is impressive. I’m not sure what they are waiting on to call it when there’s that much of a difference. That’s making people have throwback memories to how Arizona was called soon in 2020. Now they’re thinking it’s being called late.
Trump-endorsed Kari lake (R) is now ahead of Gov. Karrin Taylor Robson, R, who was backed by Ducey (1.8 points) #AZGOVGOP Primary with more EDay votes counted. It doesn’t seem like she is giving it back.

Lake has already shown that she is the winner by challenging Katie Hobbs in the Democratic primary.

Lake used to be an anchor for Fox 10 KSAZ TV.
Trump-supporting people love it. Meghan McCain is not. Although she was happy to celebrate early Robson’s win, she was wrong and the tide turned. She deleted her tweet.

It was followed by an attack against the MAGA People.
I see my initial predictions were right despite the initial excitement of Robson pulling ahead –
My home state deserves congratulations for successfully completing the MAGA/conspiracy theory/fraudster transition.
The voters have spoken – be careful what you wish for…

Now we’ll have to see what the general brings with Hobbs.
