Lake declares victory as her lead grows against Robson, no projected winner!
PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - August 3, 2022 - Kari Lake took the stage Wednesday morning, declaring herself the winner of the Republican gubernatorial primary despite no major networks or news organizations having a projected winner in that race. On Thursday evening, as another batch of ballots was processed, Lake had a lead of nearly 20,000 votes, widening the gap to 47% to Karrin Taylor Robson’s 44%. On Tuesday, as ballots poured in, Robson had an early lead against Lake. However, Lake then took an overnight lead against Robson and has maintained it since.
“We outvoted the fraud. We didn’t listen to what the fake news had to say. The MAGA movement rose up,” Lake told a crowd of supporters outside her campaign headquarters in Phoenix that morning.
