Kari Lake held a press conference a few moments ago, in front a big gaggle of reporters, and handled them like a freaking boss.
I’ve got multiple videos from the presser and we’ll start with Lake talking about all the problems Maricopa County is having today with the election:
I love how Lake asks reporters “do you think this is normal?” and points out that the machines in the liberal sections of Maricopa County are working just fine, unlike the Republican sections of the county, which is why she came to a liberal section to vote.
She was also baited by a reporter who claimed “there’s no evidence to suggest this is not going to be an accurate election”.
Lake calmly responsed that she isn’t suggesting it won’t be accurate, but that she’s going to see what happens:

Lake was also baited by another reporter asking for the millionth time if she’d be Trump’s VP should he announce a run next week. You’ll love her response:
She looks at him and asks “are you new here?”, pointing out she’s answered this question a million times already.
Then she drops this bomb: “I’m going to do two terms. I’m going to be your worst frickin’ nightmare for 8 years, and we will reform the media as well. We are going to make you guys into journalists again. So, get ready. It’s going to be a fun 8 years.”
Lake also called out Katie Hobbs and said she needs to recuse herself from interfering in this mess she’s allowed to happen as Secretary of State:
