Katie Hobbs wins Arizona governor's race, defeating election denier Kari Lake

Democrat Katie Hobbs was elected governor of Arizona on Monday, the latest presidential battleground to reject a prominent election-denier candidate.

Hobbs, 52, defeated Republican Kari Lake, who embraced former President Donald Trump’s baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, in a narrow victory, according to NBC and CNN.

Voters in the midterm election resoundingly rejected election deniers for positions that would oversee the 2024 presidential race in the crucial battlegrounds of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin. And in Georgia, they reelected Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who stood up to Trump’s demands to overturn his 2020 loss in the state.
