PHOENIX (AP) — Kari Lake launched a U.S. Senate campaign with a splashy rally outside Phoenix, having never conceded she lost last year’s race for Arizona governor. Lake is trying out new messages and courting the support of national Republicans she’s insulted in the past. But the former television news host isn’t backing down on the things that made her a star on the far right — her combativeness with perceived enemies and her fealty to Donald Trump, including his election lies. That worries some Republicans who fear she’ll cost them a race that could decide control of the Senate. At Tuesday’s rally, Lake didn’t concede she lost the last election, but didn’t say it was stolen and made only a brief mention of it.
