Opinion: Katie Hobbs has shown toughness slogging through the 2022 governor’s election that none of us fully understood until now.
Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs speaks during an election night watch party at the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel on Nov. 8, 2022.Finally, the wait is over! Katie Hobbs is the next governor of Arizona, and Trump Republicanism suffers another major defeat.
Donald Trump recently boasted he created the modern Republican brand. Well, today the modern Republican brand is what, Edsel? Polaroid? Enron?The temptation will be great to say Hobbs didn't win the governor's seat. Kari Lake lost it. Had Lake run as a normal Republican with her polished delivery and anchorwoman looks she'd be recarpeting the hallways right now on the 9th floor.
To call what happened in Arizona and nationally a “red ripple” suggests the Republicans eked out a victory that could have been much larger. But this was not a Republican win. It was an indisputable and historic triumph for the Democratic Party and its candidates. Democrats retained control of the Senate, and lost the House by such a fine margin, Republicans will be dancing with the devil trying to manage it.
“I think she's in real trouble," Herstam told KJZZ radio."Katie Hobbs needs to apologize profusely and compassionately, and she hasn't really done that yet.
