Kari Lake, the Republican nominee in Arizona, has been traveling out of state frequently during her campaign. This has raised concerns among Democrats and Republicans alike, including former President Donald Trump. Trump is reportedly annoyed by Lake’s travel schedule, especially her visits to Mar-a-Lago, and has suggested to her that she should focus on campaigning in Arizona.
Despite the criticism, Lake’s supporters believe she is running a strong campaign and will win in Arizona. Some have dismissed her travel as necessary for speaking engagements and campaign events. However, her opponents have pointed out her absence from Arizona and even her apparent change in stance on key issues like abortion laws.
The Senate race in Arizona could have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Senate. If Lake is able to make the race more competitive, it could increase Republicans’ chances of regaining control of the chamber. This could be crucial for Trump’s ability to govern if he wins a second term.
Spokespeople for both Trump and Lake have not responded to requests for comment on the situation. Trump’s spokesman has praised Lake as a strong leader, while a senior advisor to Lake has defended her campaign. The focus remains on the upcoming Senate race in Arizona and what it could mean for the political landscape moving forward.
