Republican Senate Candidate Kari Lake of Arizona responded to questions about whether she would accept being President Donald Trump’s running mate as rumors continue to swirl within the conservative landscape.
The speculation about who Trump’s running mate will be increased after Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis dropped out of the Republican primary race.
Trump, becoming the Republican nominee, is becoming more likely following his historical landmark victory in Iowa last week.
Fox News host Jesse Watters asked Lake if she would accept the vice-presidential slot on the ticket.
“I see myself in the Senate and helping America, to secure our border and make Arizona a safer and better place to live in the U.S. Senate,” Lake told Watters.
“I’m here in New Hampshire right now helping President Trump and I really want to get him back in office, but I think we need to make sure, not only do we take back the White House, but we have got to have the majority in the Senate.”

Lake is running for the Senate seat held by Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona.
“If we don’t have the majority in the Senate, can you imagine how hard it’s going to be for President Trump to get things done?” Lake asked Watters.
“And this outrageous ruling by the Supreme Court just proves we need a law to build the wall and secure the border.”
“We need a law to finally stop people from pouring across our border and destroying our country. That’s what I’m willing and able to do, and starting on day one I’m going to help President Trump do that.”
