Kari Lake claims Arizona GOP ousted her from Senate race for being an ‘America First’ candidate
Republican Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake believes her state party tried to keep her out of the race because she is an “America First” candidate, rather than one under the party’s control.
Lake’s statement comes after the release of audio suggesting that former Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWit attempted to bribe her to stay out of the race. Lake, a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, expressed no regrets for her support.
“He gave us a secure, safe, prosperous America,” Lake said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “And I think they want to get people back in the U.S. Senate who they can control, who might be more of the neo-con type Republicans who will continue to push for endless wars and an open border policy.”
DeWit resigned from his position and was replaced by Gina Swoboda, who emphasized the importance of Arizona in the upcoming election and urged citizens to vote for Trump.
The Arizona Senate race is expected to be highly competitive, with a recent poll showing Lake slightly ahead of Democratic nominee Rep. Ruben Gallego. However, the margin of error was 4%, indicating a close race.
Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who switched her party affiliation to independent, has not yet announced if she will seek reelection. If she does, Gallego would have a slight lead over Lake, according to the poll.
Lake was also asked about the possibility of being Trump’s vice presidential candidate in 2024, but she chose not to comment on her discussions with the former president. Other potential vice presidential nominees rumored include Rep. Elise Stefanik and former HUD Secretary Ben Carson.
How does the government use monetary and fiscal policies to stabilize the economy during a recession?
Most economists agree that the government should focus on stabilizing the economy by implementing monetary and fiscal policies.
Monetary policy involves actions taken by the central bank to control the money supply and interest rates in order to influence inflation and stabilize the economy. This can include adjusting interest rates, buying or selling government securities, and setting reserve requirements for banks. When the economy is in a downturn, the central bank can lower interest rates to encourage borrowing and spending, thereby stimulating the economy. Conversely, during times of inflation, the central bank can raise interest rates to reduce borrowing and spending and control inflation.
Fiscal policy involves the use of government spending and taxation to influence the economy. During a recession, the government can increase spending and decrease taxes to stimulate economic activity. This can include investing in infrastructure projects, providing financial aid to struggling businesses, and implementing tax cuts for individuals and businesses. During times of inflation, the government can decrease spending and increase taxes to reduce demand and control inflation.
Both monetary and fiscal policies play important roles in stabilizing the economy, and a combination of both is usually recommended. In times of economic downturn, monetary policy can be more effective in quickly stimulating the economy, as it can be implemented by the central bank relatively quickly. However, fiscal policy can also be effective in providing direct support to specific industries or groups that are most affected by the downturn.
Overall, the government’s role in stabilizing the economy is to use monetary and fiscal policies to create a favorable economic environment, promote growth, and maintain stable prices. By implementing these policies, the government can help mitigate the impact of economic fluctuations and promote long-term economic stability.
