In the 2022 Arizona governor's race, Kari Lake had a chance to beat Katie Hobbs, the Democratic candidate. Unfortunately, the state Republican Party was at fault for not addressing the issues surrounding Maricopa County's election irregularities. It was a race that settled the controversy over ballot harvesting, and if it's legal, the GOP should get moving on implementing its operations.
Although I don't like it, ballot harvesting isn't a fraud that's illegal at the federal level. In states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan, it could be banned, as the blue wave could easily overwhelm the minority party in either chamber of the legislature. Election Day isn't enough to stop the left-wing vote from coming in.
In 2024, Kari Lake could have a chance to challenge US Senator Kyrsten Sinema in the Grand Canyon State. This would be an interesting test for her.

I'm told Kari Lake is considering running for the US Senate seat held by Kyrsten Sinema in 2024.

A recent poll indicated that Sinema's chances of being re-elected as an independent are out of reach. She would be easily beaten by Lake, as well as by the Democratic candidate, Rep. Ruben Gallego.
A survey conducted by BluePrint Polling for the Democratic Party revealed that Trump-endorsed candidate Lake would win the Senate race in Arizona with a total of 35.7 percent. Rep. Gallego came in second with 31.9 percent, and Sinema was third with 18.8 percent.
The survey also revealed that 18.6 percent of the respondents were unsure of who they would vote for in the Arizona Senate race between Sinema, Lake, or Gallego.
In the survey, 18.6 percent of the respondents said they were unsure of who they would support in the Arizona Senate race between Rep. Gallego, Lake, or Sinema.
Despite the favorable polling that has been conducted in the race, it's still not clear if the Democrats will be able to take back the Senate seat in 2024. Due to the Senate map that will be used in the next cycle, the Republicans could easily take back the upper chamber.
Personal attack ads against Lake helped her, as people who knew her from her previous work as a television journalist knew her well. However, she might have lost the support of Arizonans due to her legal battle over the 2022 election results. This could be a potential opportunity for the Republicans, as they still need to implement a ballot harvesting operation.
