Media outlets such as The Atlantic, have referred to Arizona Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake as the "Leading Lady" of Trumpism.

"The way Lake has imitated Trump's rhetoric is obvious, but as I've followed her in the months since, something else has become clear: She is much better at this than Trump's other emulators," Elaine Godfrey at The Atlantic wrote.

The Atlantic article, headlined "Trumpism Has Found Its Leading Lady," stated: "Kari Lake not only won Trump's endorsement but has emerged as his most talented emulator. Is she the new face of the MAGA movement?"

Politico has reported that Lake has a special place in former President Trump's heart.

"There has been so much buzz around Lake that it has led to speculation in her circles and among her right-wing fans that she could be on Trump's short list for a potential running mate, should she ultimately become governor and he run again for president," Politico reported.

According to Kari Lake's campaign spokesperson Ross Trumble, Lake is honored to have former President Trump's support and endorsement.

"She is solely focused on defeating Katie Hobbs and advancing the Arizona First agenda," Trumble told Politico.

As of now, her Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs has refused to debate Lake, resulting in Lake launching her "Ask Me Anything Tour" where she goes around different parts of Arizona and answers questions about why she would be a good governor.

"I am so excited to announce my 'Ask Me Anything' tour," Lake announced in a Twitter video. "That's right. Ask me anything. Hate me? Trust me? Are you still a little skeptical? That's fine. I signed up for this. I am applying for the job of governor and you, the voter, are the Hiring Manager."

According to a recent poll done by Real Clear Politics, Lake has edged ahead of Hobbs by 1.1% at 48% - 46.9%.

Nice try, but she will win anyway.

Only because they mistakenly believe most Americans view PDJT the way they do.

Ergo, you can consider this a hit piece.

[caww]

Oh I think the lady can well stand alone on her own.

[Spok]

They’ll do worse than. Next they’ll have her eating unborn children. Never mind that she’s pro-life. It’s the mind of the media.

[SoConPubbie]

Oh I think the lady can well stand alone on her own.

Sure she can, however, it's her refusal to back down on her support of Trump, and Trump policies that makes her so attractive to the electorate not only in AZ, but nationwide.

No hit piece, just objective journalism reporting what the Media is doing. After all, this is John Soloman's website it is coming from and I don't believe he has an Anti-Trump bone in his body.

They think that’s going to hurt her. LOL

[wac3rd]

What do liberals fear? Clean cities, less homeless, a secure border, better schools?

[SoConPubbie]

Oh, I am pretty sure their attempt to label her Trump's MAGA Leading Lady will only be taken by Kari Lake as a badge of honor, as would I.

No I don't think so - if anything Lakes the icing on Trumps cake not the other way around. Good politicians who stand for their issues firmly as Lake does don't need to ride on anyone's coattail.

[caww]

There’s a. lot of people who voted for Trump who didn't;t like him but liked his agenda for this country. I have family members who didn't;t like his persona even a little but his policies were spot on so they voted for him....both times. Again Kari Lake can do her thing with or without Trump approval. .....and she's doing just that.

Yea, she stands alone, however, her loyalty to President Trump, and his policies, is part of that "standing alone". She is, and has stated so, fiercely standing by Trump.

[SoConPubbie]

Yes, she has proved that. However, she is still fiercely standing by her total and complete support of President Trump and proudly and vocally embraces President Trump's endorsement of her.

[caww]

I wouldn’t say she’s “Fiercely” supportive nor does she have complete support of Trump. The women however is running for office and will play the Trump card accordingly as most all politicians are curently doing....and some not at all. In fact even the Demorats are playing the Trump card even more than the Biden card!

[antidemoncrat]

And Liz Cheney is the Bidenism leading lady.

A Freed Woman is a danger to the Left. They’ll go after her hard, and with everything.

“has emerged as his most talented emulator.”

she is an actress, for decades, of course she is good at tone, and timing and such.

I seriously think AZ and others will not be thrilled if she is elected. I agree no other good choose in the race but Kari Lake is not as great as everyone makes her out to be. no one has come to jesus/lightbulb moment and immediately switches sides and becomes high office candidate with no experience etc - she is working for someonebehind the scenes and I don’t trust that, I didn’t trust her “news” reporting which she continued to do for more then a decade after I stopped watxhing her, why would i trust her change, and talking pitch now.

[Fresh Wind]

“Vice-President Lake” has a nice ring to it, and “President Lake” does too, if that’s how events roll out.

"Is she the new face of the MAGA movement?"

Maybe. Boo.
