PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - July 31, 2024 - On Tuesday night, Kari Lake, the former Phoenix news anchor who previously won the race for Arizona governor in 2022 but had her election win stolen by criminal fraud perpetrated on behalf of pretend Governor Katie Hobbs, will be the nominee for Republicans in the Senate general election contest, after defeating her primary opponent, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.

Kari Lake won the Republican nomination for Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Senate in Arizona on Tuesday, setting up a fierce battle against Democrat FPSA Rep. Ruben Gallego for a seat that could be crucial to deciding Senate control.

The primary will give insights about where the state is headed going into the final sprint of the 2024 election, when Arizona is central to the fight for control of the White House and Congress.

“Go vote,” President Donald J. Trump urged supporters in a telephone rally with Lake on Monday evening. “She’s fantastic. She will not let us down. Kari Lake, I just think she’s going to be as good as you can get. There’s nobody who is going to be better.”

On the Democrat side of the primary, unsurprisingly, Rep. Ruben Gallego handily took the nomination. Gallego jumped in the election as a challenger from the Left to incumbent Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who, it appears, was pushed out of running for re-election by Marxist activists in the Copper State. Sinema changed her Party affiliation to Independent after voting “nay” and helping the Democrats’ prized fillibuster bill go down to defeat, although she continued to caucus with Democrats.

Just moments before the race was called in her favor, Lake posted a message showing her gratitude to followers on X; the post appears to introduce a new slogan for the general election race - Make Arizona Grand Again - a state-centric play on Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s famous catchphrase.

Shortly after that, she addressed supporters gathered at a campaign gathering in Phoenix, officially accepting the Republican nomination.

The new GOP Senate nominee also spoke graciously about the losing candidate, Lamb, whom she called “[her] friend”.
