'You can call me Trump in a dress'

Endorsed by Donald Trump, the Republican candidate for Arizona governor, Kari Lake, has learnt much from the rhetorical style and political tactics of the former president.

Ms Lake is a so-called "election denier" who has questioned the result of the 2020 presidential vote, yet she remains one of the sensations of the midterm elections.

If successful, she will lead an administration responsible for overseeing the 2024 contest in a state which could swing the result.
