Kari Lake, a GOP Senate candidate in Arizona who lost her campaign against Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) this past election cycle, said she will not seek political office again.

“We know the movement that we have in Arizona, and I will never take that for granted. But there is a corrupt machine here that is hellbent on making sure I never hold office. So, I won’t put my family (and myself) through the torture of running again,” Lake wrote in a post on X on Saturday.

Gallego, who had served in the House for nearly a decade representing a Phoenix-based seat, secured his victory against Lake, garnering 50.1 percent of the vote compared to Lake’s 47.7 percent, a polling aggregate from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) concluded.

Lake announced her Senate bid in October 2023 and entered the race for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-Ariz.) seat as the heavy favorite for the GOP nomination. The Republican is a sharp ally of President-elect Trump, who endorsed her in a video on social media. Lake had previously denied her loss in Arizona’s gubernatorial race in 2022.

4. 47%!!!!!! Voted for her....

One progressive Democrat, I know said to me that he could understand why people voted for her because she was so pretty. I asked him if you vote for her, Do you get to fuck her? When he laughed, I said you may laugh, but that’s the point isn’t it?

[COL Mustard]

12. As the saying goes,

I wouldn't touch her with yours. Yuk. She may be attractive on the surface, but there's some deep ugly underneath.

“After much prayer/reflection, and in talking with my family” blah blah blah.

The grift never ends with maga.

[Midwestern Democrat]

29. She single handedly gifted us two statewide offices that the GOP should have won - she'll never win another

primary, IMO (the AZ GOP tried to stop her from running this year) - I think even the most idiotic AZ Republicans are now aware of just how costly their support of her has been.

[doc03]

28. Trump will find her a job. nt

[HereForTheParty]

30. Disappointing

She was always an easy win.
