Former news broadcaster Kari Lake, who is a close alley of former President Donald Trump, has won the GOP primary for Arizona governor. She defeated Karrin Taylor Robson in a close race but ultimately won due to Trump’s backing.

Lake has also questioned the integrity of the 2022 vote in Arizona until she took the lead in the vote count late on election night.
