Currently (Saturday evening in America), Ruben Gallegos leads Kari Lake in the Arizona Senate race by about 34,000 votes with 85% of the votes counted. I never really thought Lake would win that seat, mainly because she is fighting against some very powerful forces. A couple of recent headlines from The Liberty Daily:
“Arizona Officials Caught Changing the Ballot Totals as Counting for US Senate Seat Continues.” There are people in that state who really despise Kari Lake and will do anything they can to keep her from any office. There was decided malfeasance two years ago when she ran for governor, and apparently it is happening again.
“Glitch McConnell Dumped Millions Into Trump-Hating Loser Larry Hogan Who Lost by 10% but Not a Penny to Kari Lake’s Close Race.” Hogan ran for the Senate in Maryland; he is a RINO of RINOs, useless to the MAGA cause. Mitch McConnell should be given substantial credit for the three conservative Supreme Court Justices who were confirmed by the Senate during Mr. Trump’s first term. Mitch did well there. Otherwise, it’s hard to think of anything to praise him for. He is resigning as Majority Leader and the Republicans will select another one. Hopefully, a MAGA believer.
Good-bye, Mitch, and good riddance.
