U.S. Senate Candidate Kari Lake to Speak at Republican National Convention
U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake is set to speak at the upcoming Republican National Convention, a significant opportunity for her political career and potential exposure to GOP donors.
Details of when she will speak or her chosen topic at the Milwaukee event, which will endorse former President Donald Trump as the Republican nominee, remain unclear.
Punchbowl News initially reported Lake’s involvement in the convention. However, her campaign was unavailable for immediate comment.
Running for the seat currently held by retiring U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., Lake’s convention role suggests her continuing prominence in promoting Trump’s America First agenda.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., another high-profile woman in Republican politics and staunch Trump supporter, is also scheduled to speak, as reported by Punchbowl.
Both Lake and Taylor Greene are among the most prominent women in Republican politics and staunch Trump supporters.
Lake’s speaking opportunity arises as she leads the Republican race against U.S. Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., the sole Democrat running for Sinema’s seat.
Gallego has generally led in public polling since Sinema decided against running for a second term in March and holds a significant financial advantage over Lake’s campaign.
Lake acknowledged in a KTAR (92.3 FM) interview that Gallego would likely maintain this advantage. Her appearance in Milwaukee could help her connect with attending donors and GOP loyalists watching the proceedings.
Although speculation that Lake might be Trump’s vice presidential pick has dwindled, Trump’s endorsement of her Senate run in October indicated his preferred role for her.
