PHOENIX (AP) — Donald Trump ally Kari Lake, who’s refused to acknowledge her loss in last year’s race for Arizona governor, is  now running for U.S. Senate. A senior adviser says Lake will formally launch her campaign on Oct. 10. Lake is seeking the Republican nomination for the Senate seat now held by independent Kyrsten Sinema, a former Democrat. Lake’s entrance in one of next year’s top Senate contests complicates Republican efforts to nominate candidates with broader appeal after a disappointing showing for the GOP in last year’s midterms. Lake is a former television anchor who’s built an enthusiastic following with her unflinching support for Trump and her steadfast promotion of false claims of election fraud.
