Robson calls Kari Lake “Fake Lake” during square off in Arizona governor debate

(KYMA, KECY/ AP News) - Karrin Taylor Robson squared off in a debate Wednesday against Kari Lake for the Arizona Governor seat.

Robson is leading her campaign, calling to leave behind the 2020 election and focus on the future, while Lake doubled down that former President Donald Trump did not lose the election.

Robson gave a nod to the widespread belief among Republican primary voters that something was amiss in 2020 and refused to say whether she would have certified the results, but she stopped short of saying the election was fraudulent.

It was a heated debate where Robson called Lake "Fake Lake."

The race is taking clearer shape with one week to go before early voting begins. Polling has shown Lake has been leading for the entirety of the campaign, but former U.S. Rep. Matt Salmon’s decision Tuesday to drop out could shake things up and give Robson a boost in a one-on-one race against Lake.
