EXCLUSIVE:<\/strong> Conservative firebrand and Republican Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake is offering a solution to her own party following its multiple election losses last week, telling Fox News Digital that success at the polls would come to the GOP in 2024 because its voters would \u2018show up\u2019 to vote for one major name on the ballot.<\/p>\n

\u2018When we get President Trump on the ticket, we get some great people who are going to put the citizens of their states and the country first,\u2019 Lake said, just days removed from an election night that saw Republicans lose a gubernatorial race in deep-red Kentucky and Democrats winning total control of the Virginia state legislature.<\/p>\n

\u2018I have faith that in 2024, people are going to show up in such massive droves because things have gotten so bad. And when President Trump\u2019s on the ticket, they\u2019re going to show up. He brings people out, he brings enthusiasm,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Lake admitted more campaigning could have been done to boost the candidate\u2019s in Tuesday\u2019s election, but said Kentucky was always going to be a tough race for Republicans to flip considering only two GOP governors had been elected in the state over the past few decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She also argued driving up voter enthusiasm in an off-election year was more difficult.<\/p>\n

A number of Republicans attempted to blame former President Donald Trump for the losses, including his presidential primary opponent, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.<\/p>\n

\u2018Trump endorsed candidate Daniel Cameron loses the Governor\u2019s race in DEEP RED Kentucky. Another loss for Trump. The losing will only end for Republicans if we rid ourselves of Donald Trump. Trump\u2014loser in \u201818, \u201820, \u201821, \u201822 and now \u201823,\u2019 Christie wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another Trump opponent, joined in during Wednesday\u2019s Republican presidential debate, saying during his opening remarks, \u2018[Trump] said Republicans were gonna get tired of winning \u2014 what we saw last night, I\u2019m sick of Republicans losing.\u2019<\/p>\n

When asked about that blame being placed on Trump, Lake pointed to the re-election victory of GOP Gov. Tate Reeves in Mississippi, as well as that of Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, who flipped his state\u2019s gubernatorial seat from Democrats in an election last month.<\/p>\n

\u2018He got very involved in those races, and so his endorsement means a lot,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Lake, in turn, placed some blame for the Kentucky loss on the Republican Governors Association (RGA), who she said \u2018could have done a lot more\u2019 to win. She also ripped Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, who chairs the organization, for being distracted with her support for DeSantis\u2019s presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

\u2018I think that was a misstep, frankly,\u2019 she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lake also responded to criticism that Republican abortion policy also contributed to the losses, including in Ohio where a ballot initiative asking voters if the \u2018right\u2019 to an abortion should be enshrined in the state constitution was overwhelmingly approved.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m a big believer that no matter what the abortion laws are, how many weeks, whatever it is, what we need to do as Republicans and, frankly, just as citizens, is figure out why women are choosing to have abortions,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Oftentimes it\u2019s because they don\u2019t feel they can afford their baby. And it\u2019s tough in this economy. You know, people can\u2019t even afford life on their own. And then you add a baby to the mix. And it\u2019s a very scary prospect for women,\u2019 she added.<\/p>\n

Lake argued that Republicans should focus instead on how to help women and families in those situations, and that it could be done through tax breaks and \u2018baby bonuses.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I want to make sure that we\u2019re helping women and really, truly give them choices so that they don\u2019t make the tragic choice,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

Lake went on to cite Hungary\u2019s significant abortion rate drop, which fell 23% from 2010-2015, and continued falling thereafter, according to government statistics. The drop reportedly happened without any introduction of new abortion restrictions, and instead came alongside the introduction of \u2018pro-family\u2019 government policies, that included defining life as beginning at conception and encouraging adoption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018They cut abortions in half by empowering families, empowering women to be the parents that they could be. And I think that\u2019s where we should be focused right now. We could cut abortions in half, and that would be absolutely wonderful to see all those beautiful babies and see all those wonderful parents who are happy that they made the choice to keep their children,\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n

The race for Arizona Senate is expected to be one of the most closely watched in the 2024 election cycle. Lake\u2019s only major opponent in the Republican primary is Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb.<\/p>\n
