Kari Lake selected to lead Voice of America after Arizona election losses


President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Kari Lake, a former news anchor turned unsuccessful Arizona politician, to lead Voice of America. Lake, known for controversial statements and ties to Trump, lost two statewide races in 2022 and 2024 before being selected by Trump to head the taxpayer-funded international news broadcaster.
Lake, who left her anchor job amidst social media scandals, capitalized on her loyalty to Trump to win the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial primary but struggled to gain support beyond Trump supporters. She made baseless claims of election fraud when defeated in both the governor and Senate races, with court challenges ultimately failing.
Trump’s choice of Lake, despite his prior criticism of Voice of America, raises concerns about the independence of the broadcaster known for providing impartial news globally. The Biden administration had previously removed senior Trump-aligned officials from Voice of America. The appointment of Lake as head of Voice of America highlights the continued influence of Trump loyalists in key positions, despite their controversial backgrounds.
