ATLANTA, GA – CNN has called the race for Arizona governor after a tight race. CNN says Democrat Katie Hobbs defeated Republican Kari Lake, who denied the 2020 election results.
Lake, a former news anchor at Fox 10 in Phoenix, ascended quickly to become one of the most prominent Republicans in the 2022 cycle as she and Hobbs vied to replace term-limited Republican Gov. Doug Ducey. The outgoing governor had endorsed Lake’s primary opponent, but then backed Lake in the general election.
