The candidate in the Arizona gubernatorial race, Kari Lake lost the election to her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs, adding one more defeat for former President Donald Trump, who supported the Republican, one of his fiercest allies.
The former television presenter published her fury and criticized the electoral officials because they did not have the complete ballot count and the projections could not be given in the Arizona gubernatorial race.
The percentages of the candidates were very close, but The Associated Press revealed on Monday night that the Democrat had 50.4% and the Republican 49.6 %.
The Secretary of the State of Arizona, Katie Hobbs is the one who will now become the governor of the state. For her part , Kari Lake had the support of Trump, and designated as one of the “election deniers”, for giving false statements regarding the voting 800.
It is also important to mention that the Republican had already threatened not to recognize these midterm elections if the results were not to your liking. With this projection favoring the Democrat, a candidate supported by Trump is added who loses in the elections as the Sen candidate ado Blake Masters and Mark Finchem, who were also eliminated in the state elections.
After knowing the results, Kari Lake posted on her account from Twitter: “Arizonans know BS when they see it”. With this, she received several replies to her comments, including that of the representative of Wyomingi, Liz Cheney, who had already criticized her.
The vice president of the Select Committee on January 6 shared a letter that Lake sent him in October thanking him for an “in-kind contribution” to his campaign after making comments against him where he wrote: “You’re welcome Kari Lake”.
It is important to mention that as the projections were made public and the expected “red wave” did not arrive, former President Donald Trump expressed his anger through his social network in recent days.
Especially every time a Democrat beats a Republican, especially one of those he endorsed. The president published angrily that after the terrible mistakes in Arizona and Nevada another election should be called time.
