On election day Tuesday, Arizona Governor candidate Kari Lake told members of the press that she expects to win two terms back to back and also vowed she’d be the media’s “worst freaking nightmare for eight years” if elected.
Lake, a Trump-endorsed Republican who is among those denying the results of the 2020 presidential election, said: “I am not only going to be the governor of Arizona for four years, I’m gonna do two terms. I’m gonna be your worst freaking nightmare for eight years, and we will reform the media as well. We’re gonna make you guys into journalists again. So get ready. It’s going to be a fun eight years. I can’t wait.”
Her comments came in response to a reporter’s question about whether if she would leave the governorship to join a potential Trump 2024 ticket as his vice president.
She responded, “Are you new covering this race? Because we’ve talked about this before,” before launching into her “worst nightmare” promise.
At press time, the governor’s race between Lake and Democrat Katie Hobbs had not yet been called by the Associated Press.
