Kari Lake gave the keynote speech at the Georgia Republican Party’s annual convention last week after Mike Pence controversially withdrew. Multiple people complained after Pence was announced and after Lake was announced as the replacement, 900 purchased tickets, more than twice as many who bought them last year.
Lake’s speech focused on election fraud and the indictment of Donald Trump.
“The two states that have been fighting the hardest to get our sacred vote are Arizona and the peach state of Georgia,” she opened. She thanked Pence for not showing up, “He’s the reason I’m here tonight.”
When asked if she could fill his shoes, she responded, “I’m more than willing and able to fill Mike Pence’s shoes.”
Lake came out with strong support for Trump, who has been an ally of hers since she began her race for governor.
