Inside Kari Lake's war room, where Republicans prepare for likely loss

Kari Lake, staring down a likely loss in the Arizona governor’s race, is being advised by GOP operatives and some of her closest aides to take a measured approach should she come up short in the vote tally and not “storm the castle,” as one person present for the discussions described the sentiments.
Congressional districts have changed. Find yours for the 2022 midterm elections.

Lawyers, political operatives and other people around the Republican nominee worked over the weekend from a “war room” inside a Scottsdale resort to prepare her for what they expect to be a stinging loss to Democrat Katie Hobbs, according to people familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private details.

She probably would have won if she hadn't said that. This election cycle election deniers got obliterated. By her saying she would not accept losing I bet 50,000 more Dems came out to vote against her who otherwise would have staid home. I'm glad she couldn't keep her big MAGA mouth shut and screwed herself.

think Arizona Voters are tired of the Toxic Fascism approach to being in charge.

But yeah... no doubt Toxic Liar's Big Mouth had a Big part in her Losing.

I can see why Katie Hobbs didn't want to share a debate stage with her.

She will probably try to do a Trump and lead the charge "storming the elections office".
