The noise is defeated. |
Washed Up 45's endorsed candidate for governor loses.
Former television reporter Kari Lake was an election denier. She vowed to overturn results if the Republican loses the general election. She took aim at outgoing Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and the late John McCain. She stuck to Washed Up 45, Softball Hannity, Fox and the noise of the far right.
She abandoned her allies. You know the drag queens she now deemed "groomers" and the rational Republicans who thought she was way too crazy to be governor.
Her allies were posted outside county election offices armed believing that Dinesh D'Souza's garbage about "ballot mules" was real.
They even shared a doctored photo of her opponent being in the election counting room trying to speculate the election was rigged.
None of that mattered.
She is defeated by Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. The Democratic candidate did the unconventional wisdom of not holding a debate with Lake and it paid off.
Hobbs knew that Lake, Blake Masters and many like that were destined for failure.

So the race was called for Hobbs and she will be getting a call from President Joe Biden.
The Republicans will likely call for a recount but it will come out of her pocket.
Hobbs said in a statement that she is "honored to have been selected to serve as the next governor of Arizona. I want to thank the voters for entrusting me with the immense responsibility. It is truly an honor of a lifetime, and I will do everything in my power to make you proud."
Cheney took a victory lap. She vowed to oppose Republicans who support Washed Up 45. Her victory came after Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) defeated Blake Master. Kelly won his reelection for a full term as Arizona's senator. Adrian Fontes became the Secretary of State-elect after he defeated election denier Mark Finchem.
