Lake called Tuesday’s indictment of Trump «election interference unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.»
Former Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has called on her party’s presidential candidates to suspend their 2024 campaigns and rally behind Donald Trump.
Lake, who has been floated as a potential running mate if Trump wins the GOP nomination, made the suggestion in a statement issued to Twitter on Tuesday following the former president’s federal indictment as part of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The Republican, who has never conceded defeat in the 2022 Arizona governor’s race, again called on Trump’s 2024 rivals to suspend their campaigns during an interview with Newsmax on Tuesday.
A grand jury indicted Trump on Tuesday on four charges in the Capitol riot probe: conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights.
Trump denies all wrongdoing and he has repeatedly criticized the special counsel’s probe, claiming it’s politically motivated.
