As bad as Doug Ducey is, at least he hasn't abandoned his post. Yet.
Of course, his hesitation may be due to the fact that the next person up in Arizona's line of succession to the governorship is Katie Hobbs, a Democrat.

‘Florida is on fire and Ron is missing’: DeSantis trolled by plane with banner accusing him of being AWOL
A campaign group seeking to unseat Florida governor Ron DeSantis has joined in the row over his recent absence from public view by flying a plane with a mocking banner over his state.
Launched by Remove Ron, which is led by an activist who has stalked Florida beaches during the pandemic dressed as the grim reaper, the plane’s banner reads “Florida is on fire and Ron is missing” – a reference to the governor’s near-disappearance in recent weeks.

Florida Democrats blast 'MIA' Gov. Ron DeSantis as Covid cases surge
Gov. Ron DeSantis has been missing in action as Covid cases in the state have spiked to new heights, Florida Democratic officials charge.
"Counties are overwhelmed w/ lines that stretch for miles," state Sen. Shevrin Jones, a Democrat, tweeted Thursday. "It's every man/woman for themselves, because leadership is MIA," he added.
Florida's line of succession includes mostly Republicans who could probably be counted on to continue DeSantis' depravity and lies about Covid, so I'm not sure why he didn't just have one of them act as governor.
