"Kari Lake's Controversial Tactics and Arizona GOP Leadership Shake-Up"
Kari Lake, a Trump-backed candidate for the Arizona GOP, was met with boos and jeers as she nominated Gina Swoboda, who was endorsed by Trump, as the new party chair after Jeff DeWit's resignation over a leaked recording scandal. Swoboda, known for spreading false claims about the election system, won the majority of votes and replaced DeWit, who was caught on tape appearing to offer Lake money to stay out of the Senate race. The shift toward far-right control of the party in Arizona comes as Lake is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate, expected to face Rep. Ruben Gallego in the general election.
