Kari Lake's team responds to Senate 2024 rumors: 'Kari is hyper-focused on winning her court case'

Former Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's team responded via social media to rumors that she was planning to run for the Senate in 2024.

"Kari is hyper-focused on winning her court case as she is the duly-elected Governor & her Election Case proves that," Kari Lake's campaign twitter account put out in a statement. 

"Hundreds of thousands of invalid ballots were counted in Maricopa County alone, more than 60% of Election Day voting centers were sabotaged, causing lines of 4 hours or more at some locations, the wrong ballot image was printed on Election Day ballots causing tabulators to jam & spit out ballots, 25K ballots were mysteriously added to the official vote count two days after the elections and more than 100K ballots with rejected signatures were counted anyway. That is just a BIT of what went wrong in Arizona," the statement continued. 

The 2024 Senate run rumor came from CNN reporter Kate Sullivan who tweeted Monday: "I'm told Kari Lake is considering running for the US Senate seat held by Kyrsten Sinema in 2024."

Lake is in the middle of a legal battle regarding the 2022 election, which is set to be heard Feb. 1 by the Arizona Court of Appeals. 

The Arizona Republican lost her gubernatorial bid to Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, but has since alleged that rampant voting irregularities in Maricopa County prevented many would-be Lake voters from casting their ballots.

"Kari Lake is fighting to protect the sacred vote of the People of Arizona," the statement concluded. "It is true that dozens of people have reached out to Kari suggesting she run for US Senate. There have been several polls showing she is the strongest candidate and could win."
