Kari Lake (R), the Arizona gubernatorial candidate recently endorsed by former President Donald Trump, has embraced fringe far-right figures in her campaign events, including publicly thanking a Nazi sympathizer for his support and appearing with figures linked to the QAnon conspiracy, CNN reports.

Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake (R), who was endorsed by Donald Trump, said that she would not have certified Arizona’s 2020 election results if she was governor at the time.

A new OH Predictive Insights poll gives Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) the highest favorability rating among Democrats at +52%, while former television anchor Kari Lake has a +60% net favorability rating with Republicans.

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), “who gained national attention for her stalwart defense of the state’s electoral system in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, announced on Wednesday that she was running for governor, portraying herself as a pragmatic leader who does not back down in the face of criticism and threats,” the New York Times reports.

Arizona Republic: “And in launching her campaign this week, Hobbs has the backdrop of an unprecedented and behind-schedule effort by the state Senate to seize and recount each of Maricopa County’s ballots along with the Legislature’s two-week recess as Republican leaders try to wrangle their restive caucuses into a budget agreement.”
