Failed gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake congratulated former President Donald Trump following his CNN town hall for an “incredible job” done.
Lake appeared on Steven Bannon’s program War Room on Thursday as a surprise guest, according to Bannon. Because it was the day after Trump’s town hall, Lake gave her opinion on how it went, including her perception that the moderator Kaitlan Collins had an “obvious” bias against the former president.

“President Trump, he held his fire. I was really impressed,” Lake said. “You know, he was very kind considering what she was doing and how biased she was. There was no interest in just talking about policy and letting people decide. It was definitely agenda-driven. Complete nastiness.”

The former candidate was quoting Trump when he called Collins a “nasty woman” during the town hall. It was a similar nickname he gave to then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton during their debate leading up to the 2016 election. Lake went on to say that Trump did “an incredible job” and discussed a phone call she had with him in which he implied he also thought the town hall went well.

Lake has long been a supporter of Trump and is also rumored to be his 2024 running mate since his falling out with former Vice President Mike Pence. The Arizona Republican has also been a vocal opponent of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is rumored to run against Trump.
Arizona’s last election challenge on the matter of Lake’s November loss to Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) has its oral presentations beginning on Friday. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson directed both sides on Monday to file written arguments throughout the week.
