Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has announced that she will not concede the race to Democrat Katie Hobbs.
In a video address on Thursday, Lake maintained that she is still in the fight.
This comes after the Associated Press called the race in favor of Hobbs on Monday.
The Trump-endorsed Republican said that this past week has confirmed everything she has been saying about the elections in Arizona.
“When we called for Katie Hobbs to recuse herself, they ridiculed us… turns out, we were right,” Lake stated. “The Fox was guarding the hen house and because of that, voters have been disenfranchised.”
Lake continued to explain that polling stations had problems with tabulating machines and printers on election day.
The Republican announced that she has assembled a great legal team to “right these wrongs.”

OAN Newsroom UPDATED 10:53 AM PT – Thursday, November 17, 2022
Mike Pence has announced that he will not support Donald Trump’s campaign for president in 2024.
When speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Wednesday, Pence seemed to disapprove of a Donald Trump 2024 presidential bid. Additionally, Pence claimed that the Americans he’s spoken with do not want to return to the Trump administration’s economic policies.
“The American people are looking for new leadership,” Pence remarked. “Leadership that will unite our country around our highest ideals. Leadership that will reflect the civility and respect that most Americans have for one another. You know, once you get out of politics, you learn pretty quickly that while our politics is very divided, the American people actually get along pretty well every day, and treat each other with kindness and with decency and with respect.”
Pence, who disagreed with Trump’s claims of a stolen presidential election in 2020, has distanced himself from the 45th president since then.
Later in the interview, the former vice-president went on to claim that voters want a new face for leadership in this country and there will be better options in the 2024 presidential election than Trump.
“In the Republican Party, whether it’s as a candidate or simply a part of the cause, I, I think we’ll have better choices than my old running mate,” Pence said. “I think America longs to go back to the policies that were working for the American people. But I think it’s time for new leadership in this country that will bring us together around our highest ideals.”
Pence moved on to the nature of his relationship with President Trump in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. The former vice-president made the decision to confirm Joe Biden’s victory, despite protests from Trump and his supporters. In subsequent interviews, Pence has repeatedly stated that his actions were in compliance with the duties imparted to him in the Constitution.
“We parted amicably, as much as we could in the aftermath of those events,” the former vice president said. “We spoke from time to time after we both left office. But Jake, after the president rhetoric that he was using before that tragic day in January, criticizing me and others who had taken a stand for the Constitution of the United States, I just determined it was best to go our separate ways. And we have”.
In the meantime, Pence has been floated around as a potential candidate in the 2024 presidential election.

BREAKING: Waukesha Christmas Parade Terrorist Darrell Brooks gets six consecutive life sentences

On Wednesday, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Jennifer Dorow sentenced Darrell Brooks Jr. to six consecutive life sentences. He also received an additional 1,200 years with extended supervision.
“Frankly, Mr. Brooks, no one is safe from you. This community can only be safe if you are behind bars for the rest of your life,” Judge Dorow said. “You left a path of destruction, chaos, death, injury, confusion, and panicked as you drove seven or so blocks through the Christmas parade.”
Before the proceedings were convened, Dorow gave the convicted murderer a chance to make a final statement. However, Brooks was forced into another courtroom after he became disruptive during the pre-sentencing remarks.
“I want you to know that not only am I sorry for what happened,” Brooks said. “I’m sorry that you could not see what’s truly in my heart, that you cannot see the remorse that I have. I feel like I’m a human being. I’m not a monster.”
Additionally, his relatives, including his grandmother Mary Edwards, were given an opportunity to speak to the victim’s families via Zoom. There, they asked the families for a bit of sympathy for the defendant, claiming he has suffered from bipolar disorder since he was 12 years old
“Darrell has suffered from bipolar since the age of 12, and it was that disorder that caused him to drive through that crowd,” Edwards said. “It is my prayer that he will be treated for this illness and managed in a facility that addresses mental health concerns.”
Dorow dismissed his family’s statements saying it was a feeble attempt to blame mental health for the tragedy. She also called their attempts at sympathy a “disservice to those who truly suffer from mental illness.”
In 2021, Brooks’ drove his SUV through a crowd of parade goers killing six people and injuring 62 others.
“We may never know the true ‘why’, but we were provided with nothing here today other than a feeble attempt to blame mental health, which, frankly, does a disservice to those who truly suffer from mental health issues,” Dorow concluded.
