On Tuesday, Kari Lake defeated rivals Mark Lamb and Elizabeth Reye to become the Republican candidate for Senate in Arizona. Lake, who also ran for governor of the state in 2022 but lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs, will face off in November against uncontested Democrat Ruben Gallego.

Over 600,000 Arizonans showed up to have their say in the Republican primary, with 340,213 casting their ballots for Lake. Lamb and Reye received 240,877 and 33,287 votes, respectively.

"This is an all-hands-on-desk moment," Lake told the audience at her victory party. "It's gonna take people from all walks of life; it's gonna take Trump Republicans, it's going to take traditional Republicans, it's going to take conservatives, libertarians, even some disaffected Democrats."
