Ruben Gallego\u2063 (D-AZ)\u200c will be her formidable opponents.<\/p>\n<p>Lake, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kari-lake-to-begin-hiring-in-preparation-for-2024-arizona-senate-campaign\/\" title=\"Kari Lake to recruit for 2024 Arizona Senate bid.\">polarizing conservative figure<\/a> who\u200c narrowly lost her bid for governor\u2064 last year, is \u2063making preparations for her campaign. According to Axios, she is expected to begin interviewing and hiring consultants and\u2063 staff,\u2063 with an anticipated launch date in\u2063 October.<\/p>\n<h3>A Standstill in the Race<\/h3>\n<p>For the past few months,\u200c the race has been at a standstill. Gallego,\u2063 the progressive likely Democratic nominee, has been actively campaigning \u2064across the state. Sinema, who left the \u200cDemocratic Party to\u2062 become an independent, has not yet confirmed if she will run for a second term. \u200bMeanwhile, Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, the only \u2063Republican in the race, announced his candidacy in April but is considered \u2064an underdog in a primary \u2063against Lake, who has yet to make her intentions official.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is kind of\u200d frozen waiting \u2062to see what Kari decides. She absolutely will not be beaten in \u2063a \u2064Republican primary, the only person who could beat\u200d her in a primary is \u200bDonald Trump,\u201d said a senior adviser to \u200cLake earlier this summer, who requested anonymity to\u2063 speak candidly in\u2062 an interview with \u200cthe Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Lake\u2062 was one of the most \u2062vocal Republican candidates \u2064last year, supporting former President Donald Trump&#8217;s\u2063 claims \u200dof winning\u2062 the 2020 election. Despite \u2062her \u200d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/herschel-walker-doesnt-support-kemp-or-perdue-im-mad-at-both-of-them\/\" title=\"Herschel Walker Doesn\u2019t Support Kemp or Perdue: \u2018I\u2019m Mad at Both of Them\u2019\">narrow loss<\/a> in the gubernatorial race \u2063against Democrat Katie Hobbs, Lake continues to \u200bchallenge \u200dthe\u200d outcome and has never \u2064conceded defeat.<\/p>\n<p>In recent months, Lake \u200bhas been on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/netanyahu-expresses-interest-in-meeting-with-desantis-on-israel-trip-this-week\/\" title=\"Exciting news!

Additionally, Lake has been actively supporting other GOP candidates on the campaign \u200btrail, including Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno.<\/p>\n<p>While many consider Lake the favorite\u2064 for the Republican nomination\u2063 if she decides to run, her previous \u2062loss raises some uncertainty about her \u200bability to win a general election.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf\u200b Kari \u200dLake is the Republican\u2064 nominee for Senate, it\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/john-roberts-is-too-busy-imagining-right-wing-attacks-on-scotus-to-condemn-leftists-war-on-it\/\" title=\"John Roberts Is Too Busy Imagining Right-Wing Attacks On SCOTUS To Condemn Leftists\u2019 War On It\">automatic loss<\/a> for Republicans in our state,\u201d said a GOP strategist who requested anonymity. \u201cIt\u2019s just very difficult to sit back and watch our party make the same mistakes over and over. We will\u2063 deserve to \u200dlose if\u200d she\u2019s our candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Senate Minority Leader \u200bMitch McConnell (R-KY) has expressed hesitation about investing resources in the Arizona Senate race. He emphasized that Republicans\u200d will likely \u2064wait to see the primary\u2062 outcome before deciding to engage. The National \u200dRepublican Senatorial\u200d Committee (NRSC) recognizes\u200b the potential challenge\u200c of defeating Lake in a primary and prefers not to get involved \u200bso late in the\u200d cycle.<\/p>\n<p>New polling indicates \u2062that Gallego is leading in a hypothetical matchup\u2064 against Lake and Sinema. The Arizona Public \u2063Opinion Pulse report from Noble\u200b Predictive Insights\u2063 shows Gallego with 34% support, compared to \u200c26% for Lake and 25%\u200c for Sinema, who would be\u2063 running as an\u200d independent. An Emerson poll suggests that Sinema would attract more votes from Republican voters than \u200dDemocrats.<\/p>\n<p>Gallego recently met with President \u200dBiden to discuss his Extreme\u200d Heat Emergency Act, while Sinema stood alongside Biden during the designation of the Grand Canyon \u2064as a\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/white-house-releases-list-of-president-trumps-accomplishments-and-it-is-historic\/\" title=\"White House Releases List of President Trump\u2019s Accomplishments \u2013  And It Is Historic!\">national monument<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Gallego raised $3.1 million from April 1 through June 30, while Sinema, who has not confirmed her re-election bid, raised $1.7 million.\u2064 Sinema currently has nearly $10.8 million \u200bin \u200bher \u200bbank account, almost three times more than Gallego.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK \u200cHERE TO READ MORE FROM THE \u2062WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kari Lake, the controversial conservative who lost the governor election, plans to launch her Senate campaign this autumn.
