Check out what Charlie Kirk shared:
Kari Lake has a chance of winning. We will be streaming TONIGHT to go over all of this.
There are over 1 million votes outstanding and she’s currently only down 59,000 votes. Lots of RED votes left to count.
Trump expanding his margins which could carry Kari.

Per AZ Central:
An unusual and prolonged silence hung over Arizona’s U.S. Senate race, where Democrat Ruben Gallego holds to a shrunken lead over Republican Kari Lake on Nov. 6, with hundreds of thousands more votes to count.
Gallego, a five-term member of Congress and the favorite to win the contest entering the election hasn’t posted on social media since a tweet election night thanking poll workers for their service.
Lake, a former Fox 10 newscaster who cut into his polling lead in the final weeks of the race, urged her followers the morning after Election Day to ensure their provisional ballots are counted.
“This race is going to go down to the wire!” Lake tweeted. “We need ALL HANDS ON DECK to cure ballots and ensure the vote of every Arizonan counts.”
That could matter in her race if the results continue moving in Lake’s direction, as happened throughout the night as the counting continued.
