There's been a lot of talk lately about whether or not Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake will pivot away from former President Donald Trump, who endorsed her.

Lake has responded to the speculation After the Washington Examiner published its story on Twitter, Lake responded: “Never.”

“President Trump announces his ‘24 Presidential run,” Kari Lake wrote on Truth Social following the former president’s announcement that he will make a third bid for the White House. “He has my complete and total endorsement!”

What Are People Saying About Her Response?

Many people are lauding her response as "smart" and "calculated." By distancing herself from Trump, she's now in a position to appeal to a wider range of voters—not just Trump supporters. This could make her a serious contender in the race for governor.

Others are criticizing her response as a "pivot" away from her conservative base. They argue that she's trying to have it both ways—appealing to Trump supporters while also trying to appeal to more moderate voters. This could backfire, they say, and alienate both groups of voters.

So far, it seems like Lake is playing her cards close to her chest. Only time will tell how this strategy will play out in the long run.

Right now, the polls are saying that Kari Lake has narrow chances winning the election. But she's not taking anything for granted—she knows that she needs to work hard to get the voters' support.

It seems like her strategy is working. She's been gaining ground in the polls, and there's a lot of excitement around her candidacy. If she can keep up this momentum, she could be a real force to be reckoned with in Arizona politics.

Lorna Romero told the Washington Examiner that Kari Lake is considering a lawsuit over the way Maricopa County handled the election. Romero said, "it still seems like she is mulling over a potential lawsuit over the way Maricopa County handled the election."

So it sounds like we'll have to wait and see what happens with that potential lawsuit. In the meantime, it's clear that Lake is a conservative superstar who is considering all of her options.
