The New York Times reports:
Kari Lake, a former TV news anchor who refashioned herself as an ally and protégé of Donald J. Trump, officially announced she was running for the Senate in Arizona on Tuesday night, offering a dark vision of America and pitching herself as a fighter ready to take on the media and the left.
Ms. Lake, who unsuccessfully ran for governor last year and never conceded her loss, mentioned that past election only once. She instead used her announcement speech to lavish praise on Mr. Trump, who endorsed her and called her “one of the toughest fighters in our movement” in a short video aired at the rally.
“I am not going to retreat,” she said at a rally held inside an airplane hangar of a luxury and private jet magazine. “I am going to stand on top of this hill with every single one of you.”

Welcome to the race @KariLake. I look forward to substantive discussions on *checks notes* your plan to ban abortion without exception, your undermining of our democracy, and threats of violence.
That’s why voters rejected you the first time around and we’ll do it again.

BREAKING:
Kari Lake announced she is running for the US Senate seat in Arizona.
As expected, Donald Trump immediately endorsed the sore loser from AZ, which all but ensures she’ll be the GOP nominee.
Will her run help Democrats win the race? pic.twitter.com/VwqAqOXZxo

She still hasn’t conceded the race for Arizona governor that she lost last year. https://t.co/FconbbCos5
