Kari Lake emerges as top candidate for Trump’s ambassador to Mexico

rawstory.com — December 9, 2024 at 11:01 PM UTC

Kari Lake, a two-time failed Republican candidate, is reportedly a leading choice for President-elect Donald Trump's ambassador to Mexico. Lake has previously lost elections for governor and senate and has supported Trump's claims about the 2020 election. Lake shares Trump's hardline immigration stance, advocating for a border wall and increased deportations. As ambassador, she would address issues like migration and counternarcotics with the Mexican government. Her confirmation requires approval from the Republican-controlled Senate, where she can only lose three votes if no Democrats support her.
