Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has been elected governor, becoming the latest Democrat to prevail in a state that has gone from solid red to battleground in recent years.
Hobbs defeated Republican Kari Lake, a former local TV news anchor who, during the campaign, would not commit to accepting the results of her race, as she repeated Donald Trump's false claim that the 2020 election was rigged.
Hobbs will be the first Democrat to serve as Arizona’s chief executive since Janet Napolitano left office to serve as President Barack Obama’s DHS secretary in 2009.
