Donald Trump and Kari Lake are admitting (without admitting it) that she lost the race for governor

If Donald Trump believed that Kari Lake actually won the race for Arizona governor, why would he reveal it? Blake Masters doesn’t want to run in the Republican primary race for U.S. Senate and said he would lose to Lake?

And if Lake actually believed she had won the gubernatorial race, why wouldn’t she call on Trump to do so? encourage Masters enter the race because she would soon become governor?

You know the answer.

Trump knows Lake lost.

Wait, isn’t Lake going to be governor soon?

And Lake knows she lost.

And Trump knows that Lake knows that he knows… and so on.

On September 21st, Lake will be able to do the last of her many Recently dropped claims of voter fraud to a Maricopa County judge.

If she had believed this case had any merit, she would not have told the New York Times through an aide: “I am seriously considering running in the Senate race and will make my final decision in the coming weeks .”

Another view: Trump may be clearing the field for Lake

She would have said something like, ‘I’m going to be governor soon, so I would encourage Mr. Masters to run for Senate.’ And I would encourage Mr. Trump to support him.”

Lake needs this to continue her actions

But she didn’t say that.

And instead of encouraging Masters to enter the race, Trump did the exact opposite.

Essentially, Lake and Trump admitted – without admitting it – that Lake had lost the election.

They won’t officially acknowledge their loss because Lake is still busy poaching gullible MAGA lackeys who are willing to empty their piggy banks to support Lake’s election fraud fantasy.

This will end soon.

Lake and Trump seem to know it.

But if they drag out the delusions for a few more weeks, Lake will be just in time to rely on the same gullible MAGAs for her Senate campaign.
