WATCH: Kari Lake spars with CNN anchor Dana Bash over election integrity
Lake, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump and reportedly has Democrats spooked, said she would accept the results of the upcoming election on Nov. 8 if she won and refused to answer Bash's prodding about her reaction if she lost, stressing that she would be the victor. The two also accused each other of harping on the 2020 presidential election, which Trump has still refused to concede.
She brought up Stacey Abrams, a Democrat who refused to concede when she lost the 2018 gubernatorial election in Georgia to Gov. Brian Kemp, and problems in some Arizona precincts during the August primaries as examples underlying ongoing election distrust outside of the 2020 presidential election. Bash said that she would"never bring this [issue] up ever had you not been bringing this up consistently on the campaign trail" and asked if Lake was ready to accept the outcome of the election in November.
