Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has defeated Republican Kari Lake in Arizona’s race for governor, NBC News projected Monday.
Hobbs’ victory is key for Democrats in a presidential battleground state and a rebuke to a prominent election denier — although the closeness of the contest left the result up in the air for nearly a week.
“I am honored to have been selected to serve as the next Governor of Arizona,” Hobbs said in a statement Monday night. “I want to thank the voters for entrusting me with this immense responsibility. It is truly an honor of a lifetime, and I will do everything in my power to make you proud.”

Too close, considering the yawning gap in qualifications between the candidates. Indeed, I couldn’t conceive of a public office that unqualified Trumpist Lake would be qualified to hold. That she was even on the ballot and made the election so close shows the tenuous state of our republic!
You can read Hobbs’s gracious statement above. Lake’s asinine comment on learning of the people’s verdict was contemptuous and worthy of her anti-American idol Trump — the biggest and sorest loser in modern American politics.
Hopefully, Hobbs’s first act as Governor, replacing GOP hack Ducey, will be to stop polluting the border with cargo containers. Honestly, what idiocy will GOP White Nationalists come up with next to waste taxpayer dollars and make America a laughingstock?
🇺🇸 Due Process Forever!
