Kari Lake Blames 'Corrupt Machine' For Decision To End Quest For Elected Office
HuffPost
In a Saturday post on X, the Arizona Republican said she's faced an opposition "hellbent" on keeping her out of politics.
Kari Lake will not seek office again, following two failed campaigns in the state of Arizona.
Lake, who ran for governor in 2022 and a U.S. Senate seat in 2024, addressed her decision in a Saturday evening post on X, where she blamed a “corrupt machine” for keeping her from being elected.
“We know the movement that we have in Arizona, and I will never take that for granted,” the Republican wrote. “But there is a corrupt machine here that is hellbent on making sure I never hold office.”
“So, I won’t put my family (and myself) through the torture of running again,” Lake continued.
The right-wing politician appeared to be referencing audio of a conversation with former Arizona Republican party chair Jeff DeWit which leaked back in January. In the surreptitiously captured clip, he appeared to ask Lake to drop her senate bid in exchange for a job in the private sector.
