Lake to Trump critics: "They're going to have to eat their words"

Republican Arizona Gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake said those turning their back on former President Donald Trump will have to “eat their words” if she and senate candidate Blake Masters win their respective races.

Both Arizona’s gubernatorial and senate races have yet to be called. Lake is challenging Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who leads Lake by less than 13,000 votes with only 70% of the ballots in. Masters trails incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly by nearly 100,000 votes. Arizona’s Maricopa County has seen significant delays in its vote tallying after complications with voting machines on Election Day.

“We’re going to win probably comfortably, and [Blake Masters] going to win but it’s going to be tighter. But we believe Blake Masters has a very, very, very good shot of winning, and they’re afraid,” Lake said. “They wanted, you know, the whole narrative, the reason they slow-rolled these results was, ‘Oh, the Trump-endorsed candidates didn’t do well. Didn’t do well.’ We’re going to win in Arizona and they’re going to have to eat their words.”

[I hope she’s right and they win those Arizona races. But will Lake revisit this if they don’t? — Ed]
