Kari Lake Gets Another Game-Changing Senate Race Update

By Politics

There’s only a week left before the nation decides whether or not to install a cackling imbecile or a diehard patriot as the commander-in-chief and determines whether or not Congress remains under Democratic Party control or shifts over to Republicans and the tension is thicker than an Alfred Hitchcock thriller. Especially in the Arizona Senate race where things took a major twist that not even Stephen King could see coming.

A brand new poll conducted by Data Orbital shows that Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake now has a small, very thin lead over her Democratic Party competition, Ruben Gallego, 45.2 percent to 44.5 percent. If this doesn’t twist your intestines into a pretzel, I’m not sure you understand how much is at stake here.

You see, we’re not just battling for the White House. We’re also fighting to gain control over Congress. If we can take both the House and Senate, plus the Oval Office, former President Donald Trump can enact huge portions of his agenda for the country. If we maintain that control through the mid-terms, we can really get things rolling and set up the next GOP presidency to continue helping our nation thrive. We have to look at the big picture and play the long game.

A report published by Trending Politics News stated that the results of this new poll also reveal that third-party candidates are going to end up playing a big part in determining the winner of this race. Green Party candidate Eduardo Quintana is, as of this writing, pulling in 1.6 percent support. It’s also important to note a whopping 8.6 percent of voters still haven’t decided whether they want Gallego or Lake or some other person. And that means we could see last minute changes. It’s hard to predict this one, folks.

In the state’s presidential race, former President Donald Trump has expanded his lead over Vice President Kamala Harris, now standing at 49.7% to 41.9%. The strong performance by Trump at the top of the ticket could benefit Lake as Election Day nears.

“With early voting in full swing and a week until election day, former President Donald Trump looks to be in a commanding position to win the state of Arizona,” pollster George Khalaf said about the results. “Republican nominee Kari Lake also looks to have closed the gap with Democratic nominee Congressman Ruben Gallego in the US Senate race. It all comes down to what the final electoral makeup looks like when voting ends at 7:00 PM on November 5th.”

Lake is known for her conservative policies, including strict immigration enforcement, support for law enforcement, and emphasis on election integrity. She has been endorsed by former President Trump. Recently, during a campaign event, former President Bill Clinton described Lake as “physically attractive,” which sparked discussions about the appropriateness of such remarks in politics.

Do you guys remember the nightmare that was the 2022 midterm election? Remember how Republicans were predicted to take control of Congress as part of a “red wave?” That’s not ultimately how things played out, thanks in large part to the races in Arizona. Democrats took home the “W” in both the Senate and gubernatorial races which helped Democrats take control, by a razor thin margin, the upper chamber of Congress.

“In the presidential race, Joe Biden narrowly flipped Arizona blue, winning 49.4% of the vote compared to Donald Trump’s 49.1%. This marked the first time since 1996 that a Democrat won Arizona’s electoral votes and was a crucial part of Biden’s path to victory. Additionally, Mark Kelly won the U.S. Senate special election, defeating Republican Martha McSally with 51.2% of the vote. Kelly’s victory completed the late John McCain’s term and marked a major pickup for Democrats in a state once dominated by Republicans,” TPN concluded in their article.
