A top Arizona Democrat needled Kari Lake over reports that she is mulling a Senate run in 2024, saying that it will be difficult to do so without conceding defeat in 2022.
Lake, who lost a tight race against Gov. Katie Hobbs , has refused to admit defeat and fired off a number of court challenges aimed at overturning the election results. Rep. Ruben Gallego , who is speculated to be eyeing a 2024 Senate run himself, argued she cannot shadow-govern the state and mount a Senate campaign simultaneously due to the state's election laws."Arizona has a very strict resign to run law.
— Ruben Gallego January 16, 2023 Arizona's"resign to run" law restricts an"incumbent of a salaried elective office" from vying for another office"except during the final year of the term being served," meaning elected officials must resign if they want to pursue another office early. Sinema has an extensive track record of rankling liberals within the Senate Democratic caucus, including by torpedoing multiple iterations of President Joe Biden's"Build Back Better" plan alongside Sen. Joe Manchin . Given the 50-50 split of the upper chamber at the time, her vote was enough to stop legislation in its tracks.
