    Kari Lake Gets Another Game-Changing Senate Race Update

    News & Politics

    With only one week left to go before Election Day, we’re witnessing a plot twist that is ripped straight from the pages of an M. Night Shyamalan script as the race for the Senate in the state of Arizona just took a major turn. New polling data released by Data Orbital reveals that Republican candidate Kari Lake now has a narrow lead over her Democratic opponent Rep. Ruben Gallego, 45.2 percent to 44.5 percent. Man, you just can’t predict how all of this is going to go down. It’s a wild ride for sure.

    According to Trending Politics News, the results of the poll also indicate that third-party candidates could ultimately play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the race, as Green Party candidate Eduardo Quintana is earning 1.6 percent support. However, a total of 8.6 percent of voters still have not decided who they want to cast a ballot for, which leaves a whole lot of wiggle room for things to shift around at the last minute.

    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 went on to state. “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.

    During the 2022 midterm elections, which were initially predicted to be headed toward a “red wave” but ultimately fell woefully short of that outcome, Democrats were able to take both the Senate and governor’s race in Arizona. Incumbent Mark Kelly, a Democrat, won re-election to the Senate, beating Blake Masters with a total of 51.4 percent of the vote to his 46.5 percent. That’s a pretty significant victory. And it turned out to be a rather important one for the left, which contributed to them holding a very slim majority in the upper chamber of Congress. The gubernatorial race was a tight one, as Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs barely beating out Kari Lake by a margin of 50.3 percent to 49.6 percent.

    “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 stated in their report.
