Utter disaster for Kari Lake in tonight's debate.pic.twitter.com/Hdx3WE4CJ3Ruben Gallego asks Kari Lake: “Will you finally tell the people of Arizona, did you win or lose that election?”
Lake: “Can I talk about water really quickly?”Denial seems to be a theme hereFor context, it’s worth mentioning that Gallego’s aside came during a section on climate charge, so Lake’s focus on H2O wasn’t completely out of nowhere. But he asked her numerous times about her election lies, and she sidestepped every single time.
The numbers show that Lake’s refusal to accept reality isn’t resonating with Arizona voters. Gallego is ahead of the MAGA anti-drag queen in every poll, sometimes by double digits. Among 11 polls of likely Arizona voters taken in September, Gallego led all 11 by margins ranging from 4 to 14 points.
Overall, Gallego has led in 45 of the 48 polls taken in the race since Kyrsten Sinema announced she wouldn’t run for reelection.A five-term congressman from the Phoenix area, Gallego is building a wide coalition. He’s raked up the endorsements of 40 prominent Arizona Republicans and Independents, as well as the Arizona Police Association. Stephen Richer, the Republican Maricopa County Recorder who sued Lake for defamation, attended Gallego’s debate watch party.
(Lake gave up on the case and declined to defend herself against Richer’s claims.)Kari Lake lied about the 2022 election. And she did so with malice.
That’s entered into a court of law.
By her.Perhaps most troublingly for Lake, Gallego is making inroads with Trump supporters, too. An astonishing 17% of likely Trump voters in Arizona say they also intend to pull the lever for him. Kari Lake is circling the drain.
