Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kari Lake blamed "absurd partisan polls" after trailing in her Arizona race.During a Sunday interview on NewsNation, host Chris Stirewalt noted that Lake had trailed Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) since the beginning of the race."You came within three-quarters of a point of winning the governorship just two years ago," Stirewalt explained. "After a long career as a very popular TV anchor in Phoenix, you entered this Senate race as a household name in your state.""You have the backing of the former president and the Republican establishment in the Senate, but in most polls since the beginning of the contest, you have trailed Congressman Gallego," the host said. "That was the average of polls from our partners at The Hill and Decision Desk HQ, showing you trailing by nearly six points. How do we account for this? How do you explain that?"Lake suggested that her internal polling showed her ahead."Well, there were a couple of really bad outlier polls that were included in that that were just absolutely absurd, partisan polls," she complained. "I know what my internal polling looks like."I'm ahead of him, but it is a horse race," she continued. "And I've gotten access to a lot of polls that aren't public.""We are the third best chance for a pickup seat in these closely contested races. And I feel we're going to win this one."ALSO READ: Donald Trump exploits AP photo error for new $99 'Save America' bookLake accused the media of "pushing a false narrative" about Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris."They've got a dud candidate who didn't earn a single vote," she insisted.

"This is a real radical. And I can tell you, Arizona is not radical like Ruben."Watch the video below from NewsNation.

Donald Trump's highly publicized visit to Arizona on Thursday, to tout the border wall his administration built, was called out as a fraud by one of his own supporters who has a ranch in the area.In an interview with the Washington Post. rancher John Ladd, "a Trump supporter whose ranch extends along the border," explained the photo-op where the former president boasted about his accomplishments at stopping immigrants from crossing over into the U.S. was in front of a section of wall built under President Barack Obama's administration.The former president has made the border crisis a central plank of his re-election bid, accusing President Joe Biden— and by extension Vice President Kamala Harris — of falling down on the job.ALSO READ: Trump is losing his audienceThe only problem, the Post is reporting is that Trump's advance people placed him in front of a portion of wall he had nothing to do with.As Ladd, explained, "Where you were, that was kind of a joke today. Had to be in front of Trump’s wall, but you went to Montezuma, and that’s Obama’s wall.”The Post report adds, "The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the barrier next to Thursday’s campaign stop was built during the Obama administration. The Trump campaign and [ Border Patrol union leader Paul] Perez did not respond to questions about the discrepancy."The report adds that during the photo-op, "Perez called the standing fence 'Trump wall' and the idle parts 'Kamala wall.'""The reality on the ground was not as straightforward as the “Build the Wall” chant that electrified his campaign eight years ago suggested. His vow to finish the wall, now formalized in the Republican Party platform, highlights the uncomfortable fact that he did not finish it in his first term, and Mexico did not pay for it, as he once promised it would," the Post is reporting.You can read more here.
