Here’s what CNN shared:

Republican Kari Lake, who lost the 2022 race for Arizona governor but has repeatedly claimed without proof that she won, has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for the US Senate in Arizona.

Lake, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, is expected to officially announce her run at a rally on October 10, a source familiar with the plans previously told CNN.

She met with several GOP senators on Tuesday, a source familiar said, including Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin.

Lake’s entrance is expected to further scrambles a contest for the seat held by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, which could end up as a three-way general election. Sinema switched her party affiliation from Democratic to independent in December, and progressive Rep. Ruben Gallego entered the Democratic primary in January. Sinema has not yet publicly said whether she will run for reelection.
