Failed Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake won the straw poll for the 2024 vice presidential nomination at last weekend's Conservative Action Political Conference (CPAC), edging out Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has been slowly unfurling his campaign for the 2024 presidential election over the last year.
Lake, who still refuses to concede her November loss to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, also beat out former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy — all of whom have launched their own presidential bids or are rumored to be exploring their own White House runs.
