Kari Lake's VOA Appointment Raises Concerns Amid Political Shifts
Originally Published 1 year ago — by POLITICO
Kari Lake, a prominent Arizona Republican who lost consecutive races for governor and Senate, has been appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to lead Voice of America. This move has relieved some Arizona Republicans who were skeptical of her political future in the state. Lake's new role at the federally funded broadcaster removes her from local political contention, allowing other Republicans to emerge. Despite her losses, Lake remains influential in Arizona GOP politics and is expected to maintain a strong presence among MAGA supporters.
