Kari Lake fights like Trump against election loss in Arizona, emerges as possible Trump running mate

Kari Lake does Trump better than Trump.

That was a sentiment heading into the midterm elections. Coming out of it, Ms. Lake is again sounding more like former President Donald Trump than any other losing candidate he endorsed this year.

Democrat Katie Hobbs is projected as the Arizona gubernatorial race winner, but Ms. Lake refuses to concede, pins her hopes on a recount and has declared that she’s “still in the fight.”

The response separates her from the vast majority of her fellow Republicans that questioned or outright rejected President Biden’s victory in 2020 but accepted their losses in the 2022 midterm elections.
