“I’m not looking to you to figure that out,” She informed Finnerty that it would be “premature” to reveal Trump’s running partner at this time. “The people of Arizona will figure it out. I appreciate your speculation. I see myself on Inauguration Day, standing on the floor of the United States Senate. That’s where I envision myself.”
She continued, saying she would “everything I can to help President Trump and everything I can to help my country,” However, the person he chooses will be a “great choice.”
“Whomever he picks, I will be there on Election Day with bells and whistles and first in line to vote for President Trump and whoever is right below him on that ticket for vice president,” Lake continued. On Tuesday morning, he was in New Hampshire doing a Trump campaign stop.
“I’ve actually heard nobody in all of the media ask who will serve as Nikki Haley’s vice president because everyone knows she’s not going to make it,” Lake said, alluding to the final opponent of Trump. “It’s a great question to be asking, but I think we need to focus on the real issues.”
She made a strong statement emphasizing how vital it is that the next president—possibly Trump—address the biggest issue confronting our country right now, which is making sure the border between the United States and Mexico is secure.
“We just had the Supreme Court rule against Texas,” said Lake. “The federal government is ruling against our states that are trying to secure the border. The federal government right now is so corrupt and so tyrannical that they’re doing everything in their power to aid and abet an invasion at our border.”
Lake continued, saying Trump may align “all of the leading fighters” in his “Make America Great, America First movement… close his eyes and point, and he could find a great vice presidential pick.”
“I’m here in New Hampshire doing whatever I can to get President Trump across the finish line so that my state, my state of Arizona, can finally have security, can finally root out these disgusting, horrible cartel members, and get some safety and prosperity once again.”

dismissing worries over Trump’s age
“First of all, Donald Trump is not an old man,” Regarding the 77-year-old Trump, she remarked. “He is a very sharp man. His cognitive abilities are unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I talk to him all the time. He is incredible.”
2022 Gubernatorial Candidate: At the age of 81, Benjamin Franklin, a Founding Father, was instrumental in the writing of the United States Constitution.
“Age is just a number,” said Lake. “It’s what’s going on up here, and there’s a lot going on up here with President Trump. Unfortunately, with Joe Biden, there’s not much going on up here. And so that’s the problem.”
