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 been an outspoken election denier and has put forward a platform based on fear. She once stated on a Twitter post that “The Media is the Enemy of the People. And frankly — the right hand of the Devil.”
Robson, on the other hand, marketed herself as a more moderate Republican but fell short when it came to hard-core MAGA Republicans.
