  • President-elect Trump has nominated GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake to lead Voice of America (VOA), a decision that is renewing worries of partisan meddling at the government-funded global news agency.

Kari Lake, a former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and current Senate hopeful, has raised concerns among some Voice of America (VOA) employees due to her appearance on the network. Critics argue that her presence on VOA, which is funded by the U.S. government to promote democracy and freedom, contradicts its mission given her history of promoting election denialism and conspiracy theories. Lake, who lost the 2022 gubernatorial race to Democrat Katie Hobbs, has been vocal about her belief that the election was stolen from her, a claim that has been debunked by multiple court rulings and fact-checking organizations. Her interview on VOA, where she discussed her political ambitions and views, has sparked debate about the appropriateness of giving a platform to figures who challenge democratic norms. Some VOA staff and observers worry that featuring Lake could undermine the credibility of the outlet, especially in its mission to counter disinformation abroad.
