Republicans with history of election denial battle in Arizona primaries

Kari Lake, who refused to accept her gubernatorial race loss in 2022, is now vying for US Senate - and other key races

Republican primaries across Arizona on Tuesday will test whether the far-right cadre focused on election denial still can win among their base, despite major losses in the 2022 primaries.

The state has been gripped with fights over elections for years, with candidates like Donald Trump and Kari Lake refusing to concede their respective races. These general election losses in 2020 and 2022 ended decades-long Republican dominance, delivering the governor's office and other top spots to Democrats.
