Why did Kari Lake lose in Arizona even though Trump won?
The Hill ^ | 11/24/2024 | Glenn C. Altschuler

In 2022, Kari Lake narrowly lost the race for Arizona governor to Katie Hobbs.

Many pundits predicted a bright future for the outspoken former television news broadcaster in the MAGA Republican Party. But this month, Lake came up short again, this time by a larger margin, in her Senate race against Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.). She ran eight points behind Donald Trump and six points behind GOP candidates for the House of Representatives in Arizona.

I guess there are two trains of thought around here. She's not a good candidate and the other is cheating.

I will take cheating for a thousand, thank you.

Yeah, the not a good candidate crowd does not have a lot to back it up.

I have heard I am not making this up) she has a bad haircut (yeah? So does Janet Yellen). She didn’t kiss the butt of the “republican” party in AZ.

They scared of that lady for some reason.

She lost due to insane cheating in 2022, I think she was able to prove it also, but no one cares.

In 2022 when Republicans across the board mysteriously came up short and all of them lost including Kari Lake, in 2024, most if not all of the Republicans won their races including Abe Hamadeh who lost by less votes than Lake in 2022.

Cheating on one race out of all that were run in 2024 would seem to me to be much harder.

I think she was in the end she was a weak candidate who got shafted in 2022 and again in 2024 when Mitch McConnell withheld campaign money while spending millions on a losing race in Maryland.

Gallego is a Chicongo crook. IMHO. Arizona is going to be sorry they ever elected that greasy maggot.

I’m pretty sure uniparty shenanigans went down in several states ensuring the RINOs hold on Senate obstruction.

Arizona is still largely McCain country.

The state has a ‘Rat Governor (former SOS - how did that happen?) and a current ‘Rat SOS.

The state is being died blue for the Mejican cartels.

I believe a combination of candidate and cheating. Kari Lake was certainly cheated outright in the governor’s race to that millennial-talking dimwit Katie Hobbs. This time for senator, there were people who didn’t like her for whatever reason but who voted for the President because I recall hearing on Real America’s Voice on election night that they were talking to people in MAGA hats and being stunned that they saying they weren’t voting for her. Small sample, yes, but there. On top of that was the corrupt Maricopa County machine and the election official who wanted to make life hell for her and apparently did so the cheating aspect of the McCain machine was alive and well.

I haven’t looked at the numbers, but my guess is his margins with Hispanics were higher than hers, particular since her opponent was Hispanic. Did she even campaign with Trump? For a while it looked like her race was out of reach, so I’m not sure if she got an invite.

IMHO, Trump could have done a much better job of promoting down ballot races. It’s a particularly easy case to make since every Democrat seeks to impeach him at every opportunity for any reason.

Out of the 30 or so managers I’ve had over the years- females. One female was the best and one was the worst.

Do you mean the people who loved McCaine in AZ just outvoted her?

Or do you mean that the McCain cartel of the republicrats turned their machine against her?
