Kari Lake Struggles to Gain GOP Support for 2024 Senate Run
Despite Trump's endorsement, Lake's past attacks on her own party and lack of apologies hinder her campaign.
- Kari Lake, a Republican who lost the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race, is now running for the U.S. Senate in the 2024 elections.
- Despite being endorsed by former President Donald Trump, Lake has struggled to gain support from moderate Republicans due to her past attacks on members of her own party.
- Matt Salmon, a former GOP congressman who ran against Lake for the GOP nomination for governor in 2022, stated he would not support her without an 'engraved apology'.
- Lake has been reaching out to traditional conservatives, but her appeals have so far contained no actual apologies.
- Polls indicate that Lake may be headed for another loss, with Democratic challenger Representative Ruben Gallego regularly pacing ahead of her.
