Kari Lake Expected to Announce Arizona Senate Bid Next Month After Gubernatorial Loss

Kari Lake, Republican and former TV news anchor, is anticipated to launch a Senate campaign in mid-October.
Lake will aim to secure the GOP nomination and challenge Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who has not confirmed if she'll seek re-election.
Lake has aligned with Trump, denies the 2020 election results, and is popular among AZ Republicans.
Lake would potentially compete in a contentious GOP primary against Rep. Blake Masters, Sheriff Mark Lamb, and others.
The Arizona Senate race is seen as competitive, with control of the chamber at stake in the 2024 election.
