Former president Donald Trump has long had a soft spot for his acolyte Kari Lake, the expected GOP Senate nominee in Arizona, joking that Lake would pivot to his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen even if she was asked about the weather.

But since Lake jumped into the race, Trump has repeatedly expressed skepticism about her political prospects in a state he sees as key to his bid to return to the White House, and has shown annoyance with her frequent presence at his Florida resort, according to five people close to him, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe his comments.

At one point last year, after grumbling for months that she was at his Mar-a-Lago Club too often, Trump gently suggested to Lake that she should leave the club and hit the campaign trail in Arizona, according to a person with direct knowledge of his comments. Trump has also asked others if she can really win in Arizona and if she might drag down his own poll numbers as he seeks the presidency again in 2024, advisers said.

So far, there has been no public schism between Trump and Lake, and the Senate candidate was at Mar-a-Lago again this month for a fundraiser. But Trumps frustration with Lake has only increased over the past year, heightening the tension between the presumptive GOP presidential nominee and one of his most prominent followers casting doubt on whether Republicans can present a sufficiently united front to win a key U.S. Senate contest and a presidential battleground state.

Trump has now all but ruled out Lake as a vice-presidential pick, remarking to multiple advisers that he would not choose her as vice president because she lost the 2022 gubernatorial race in Arizona, which he believed was winnable. She didnt win, he told one political ally over dinner at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.

Trumps top advisers were furious after a Lake ally released a recording of then-Arizona GOP Chairman Jeff DeWit encouraging her to stay out of the Senate race, which embarrassed the party chairman and led him to resign.

Trump was more surprised than angry when told about the January incident, according to three people familiar with his reaction. She tapes everything? he asked, sitting in a New Hampshire hotel suite before taking the stage on the night he won that states primary. Thats good to know.

She's annoying him as much as he's annoying the traditional GOP.

Think that visit from Desantis is telling of how annoyed and tired of this he is. "Who's nex-- ah fuck, fucking Ron?! What the fuck, fine...Hi Ron! I really liked the campaign you ran and I'm sure you really want to get back to being our great-great governor once again!"

Its already his fault he lost last time.

AZ is still fairly conservative, but the people here like the more traditional GOP approach before MAGA affected the party.

Whenever I come back to AZ its hilarious to me how much people despise Trump despite the fact that theyre clearly conservative to the core. Dude fucked himself here and its beyond deserved.

probably DeSantis because it will give him the best chance to win Florida.

because Floridians haven't realized they're destroying their own state just yet.

I wish he would pick one of these psychos, it'd help guarantee his loss. I really hope he doubles down on MAGA, and there's a high chance he will since he seems to think Pence was too moderate and he'd be dictator right now if he'd picked a real sicko in 2016.

If Trump runs from Florida, he probably wouldn't want to pick DeSantis. In theory, that ticket wouldn't be able to win Florida's Electoral Votes. Of course, there's no chance SCOTUS makes that ruling in this reality.

The Cuban American vote is what gives Trump the best chance to win Florida, and he has that no matter what.
