Kari Lake comes closer than in past to conceding campaign loss
One thing that may have made a difference is the 73,000-vote margin of this loss out of about 3.3 million ballots cast in the race. By contrast, Lake fell behind Democrat Katie Hobbs two years ago by a much smaller margin: just 17,117 votes.
Kari Lake was always seen as unbeatable in a Republican primary but an iffy prospect in a general election in Arizona.
Lake gained notoriety after claiming, without evidence, that her loss in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election was due to election fraud.
President-elect Donald Trump picks up 11 more electoral votes in Arizona, a battleground state Biden won in 2020.
