Kari Lake, the perpetually soft-lit, camera-ready political newcomer from Arizona, may have lost her bid to become the state's next governor, but it's unlikely she'll leave the spotlight.
A Phoenix-area news anchor for 22 years, Lake called it quits in 2021 and decided to go all in on politics. She fended off better-funded, more qualified GOP challengers in the primaries and ran a ground game in the general election in which she regularly made headlines for tearing into fellow reporters and mocking her political opponent.Lake ran a full Trumpist campaign and pushed a familiar but divisive message that questioned the legitimacy of the country's election system.
GOP strategist Rory McShane agreed, telling the Washington Examiner that Lake can"do whatever she wants to do" post-election. "At some point, a congressional seat is going to open up, and she could be the odds-on favorite for that by far," he said."I think she could also be Primetime with Kari and have a bazillion viewers. I think there are a lot of possibilities, but I think the underlying point is that the conservative movement is really, really a fan of hers."
