Kari Lake and Kaitlan Collins engage in tense interview over election claims and policy shifts

Kari Lake, a Republican candidate for the Arizona Senate, clashed with CNN's Kaitlan Collins during an interview focused on her claims of election fraud. Lake avoided directly answering questions about her loss in the 2022 gubernatorial race, insisting she wants to focus on future elections. Collins challenged Lake on her shifting views regarding abortion and early voting. Lake, who previously supported a near-total abortion ban, now backs Arizona's law limiting abortions after 15 weeks, which Collins noted as a significant change. Throughout the interview, Lake attempted to steer the conversation toward issues like crime and immigration. She also made comments about safety in New York, which Collins disputed based on her own experiences.
