Midterm elections 2022 results: Key Trump election denier Kari Lake heading for defeat in Arizona

Donald Trump’s most high-profile election denier candidate, Kari Lake, appeared on course to lose her race to become Arizona governor along with dozens of other election deniers.

In a number of crucial races, Mr Trump’s endorsed candidates appeared poised to lose, overwhelmingly rejecting the questions raised about the integrity of the election process.

Ms Lake, a rising Republican star, has boosted her profile by promulgating Mr Trump’s disputed claim the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

She called for officials in charge of the 2020 election to be jailed and said that, had she been governor, she would not have certified Joe Biden’s win in Arizona.

She has also previously refused to say she would accept the results in her own race should she lose. She further fuelled claims of corruption as she took to the stage in Phoenix as early tallies showed her heavily tailing Democrat Katie Hobbs.
