Hobbs wins Arizona governor’s race, flipping state for Dems

Democrat Katie Hobbs was elected Arizona governor on Monday, 

defeating an ally of Donald Trump who falsely claimed the 2020

 election was rigged and refused to say she would accept the results

 of her race this year.

Hobbs, who is Arizona’s secretary of state, rose to prominence

as a staunch defender of the legitimacy of the last election and 

warned that her Republican rival, former television news anchor 

Kari Lake, would be an agent of chaos. Hobbs’ victory adds 

further evidence that Trump 

is weighing down his allies in a crucial battleground state as the 

former president gears up for an announcement of a 2024 presidential run.

She will succeed Republican Gov. Doug Ducey, who was prohibited 

by term limit laws from running again. She’s the first Democrat 

to be elected governor in Arizona since Janet Napolitano in 2006.

The interesting part of that second pic is that Maricopa County, long considered a "red" county, voted very purple this time.  The people that saw Hobbs in action as both a member of the AZ Legislature and as AZ Secretary of State, accepted her, while the same people who saw Kari Lake up close as a TV personality on a Fox affiliate, rejected her.

As could be expected, Hobbs said "thank you" and got to work, while Lake, well, whined.
