Kari Lake, the Arizona Republican Senate nominee, held her final campaign rally on Monday in Prescott, Arizona, urging supporters to seize the opportunity to influence the country's future. Lake emphasized the importance of the upcoming election, stating that it presents a chance to alter the nation's course and preserve the Republic.
The rally took place on the steps of the Yavapai County Courthouse, a historic location where US Sen. Barry Goldwater launched his presidential campaign. Lake, a former TV newscaster, is facing Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego in a closely watched Senate race. She expressed confidence in the enduring impact of the “Make America Great Again” movement, asserting that a 'silent majority' would rally behind her and former President Donald Trump on Election Day.
The Senate seat they are competing for is currently held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, making the race a pivotal one. Lake, who has not conceded her 2022 election loss and has echoed Trump's unfounded claims about the 2020 election, emphasized her commitment to fair and honest elections. She criticized the current electoral system, suggesting that the Founding Fathers did not anticipate such flawed processes.
Lake highlighted the need for change in the political landscape, advocating for a massive movement to hold elected officials accountable. She praised GOP congressional candidate Abe Hamadeh for standing by her during challenging times and vowed to fight against the status quo.
During her speech, Lake framed the election as a battle between 'Americanism versus communism,' transcending traditional party lines. She launched personal attacks against Gallego, accusing him of having ties to criminal organizations and criticizing his stance on various policy issues.
As the rally concluded, Lake expressed mixed emotions about the campaign coming to an end, reminiscing about Trump rallies and acknowledging the support of her family. She bid farewell to the crowd, tossing campaign hats and reflecting on the journey thus far.
