Kari Lake spent a lot of time at Mar-a-Lago this spring in an apparent bid to be Donald Trump s running mate for 2024, People reported Wednesday.

Kari Lake is there every night ... Shes there all the time, an unidentified source told the outlet. Theres a suite there that she practically lives in.

Lake lost her Trump-endorsed bid for governor in Arizona last November and recycled his baseless cries of election fraud. She has been floated as a possible vice presidential pick for 2024 GOP front-runner Trump, whom Lake has vigorously defended amid his mounting legal woes.

She made frequent visits to Mar-a-Lago after Trump officially declared his candidacy in November and has been vying for the selection since then, People wrote. The magazine previously quoted a source as saying that Lake is working the deal for a bigger political future to compensate for her Arizona defeat.

But that future might not be alongside the former president. Lake is pondering a Senate run in Arizona against Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, an independent who used to be a Democrat, according to outlets.

The Hill reported Tuesday that Republicans believe Lake would be the partys primary front-runner if she officially declared her candidacy, but are concerned about her harping on false claims of election cheating.

I think most people are facing reality that if she runs for that seat, she has a significant number of Republican primary voters who are going to vote for her, Republican strategist Chuck Warren said.
