they got to fix this problem, this is incompetency, not just absolutely absurd. are you guys buying that? are you really buying that? this is a jussie smollett part two. i m assuming it s in a basement somewhere. because that s where she s been campaigning. i want to win the election and i will accept that result. because the people of arizona will never support and vote for a coward like katie hobbs. i mean david, of all the trumpian or trump acolytes she was the apex predator of all of them. what do you, i mean her loss, what is the impact of that? what does that say about trumpism? i think it says a lot. you know, steve bannon was camping out in arizona, and holding out as an exemplar of trumpism. and, you know, she really is a more, sort of, polished performer. uttering, speaking from the same script. and she thought that would get her to where she wanted to go. it was enough to win a primary. but she has alienated the middle in that state.
red state goes blue and 18, goes blue in 20, goes blue in 22. you look at all of the republicans candidates that lost there, the constitutional offices in arizona are most likely going to be all blue. both senators in the state of arizona, blue. democratic blue. the governor in the state of arizona, democratic blue. and really, it s really gone from, again, the state that caused the most concern for democrats and independents and republicans who care about democracy. right. and fair and free elections to actually up and down the ballot. yeah, the greatest example. the greatest example of how what donald trump was selling was poison for political candidates. and that voters rejected donald
campaign. i m shocked this went this direction. and republicans now only one seat away from taking back the house. 217, the majority is 218. steve: yep. they just need one. we just need one guy to explain it all and there he is downer in d.c. how quickly some people want to declare a winner and move on in the arizona gubernatorial race but the process may not be over. especially if it s within half a percentage point. that s going to trigger a recount and i think that s important for the folks in the grand canyon state. for the moment katie hobbs, who you probably recall wouldn t debate, some even said she barely exaneld and yet, somehow she managed to acquire more than 1.2 million votes just enough, apparently, to best kari lake in arizona s gubernatorial race. so, here s what she had to say about that quote democracy is
many on camera who said that they simply could not stomach the trump republicans, that what they wanted was what mccain represented, decency, honesty, and conservative values, which they feel is the real fabric of arizona. and that they did not feel that a future with kari lake would deliver that. anderson? i want to check in with john king and the magic wall. john, what else can you tell us about these latest ballots from arizona. just that the math is getting near impossible for kari lake, despite a very improved performance in these last numbers of maricopa county. let s walk through. with anderson, here s where we are. here s the challenge for kavalec. we are running out of a every little vote, the pool of available votes for her to catch up has not shrunk, almost to the point where katie hobbs is leading. now, katie hobbs is now up 20,480 vote, that s 50%, 50.4 to 49.6. that is a very, very, very close race, right? but here s the challenge. we talked about this at the beginnin
the challenges the, pressure on her tonight is to acknowledge them off and bow out gracefully. but we also know she surrounds herself at times with trump lawyers, trump acolytes, steve bannon and others. so, this is gonna be fascinating to watch. they can do the math if they want, they can check out the numbers of outstanding votes. but i could tell you, we don t have an exact number get, but that number of outstanding votes is not terribly much higher than 20,481 that katie hobbs lead with. so what we see so far, consistently over the last six days, can you expect carey lake to get 70 or 80%? or maybe more than that of the remaining vote? that s pretty unrealistic. john, standby with us. aly bone is with us. she is arizona assistant secretary of state. appreciate you joining us after tonight s drop, how many total votes are left in arizona. hi, good evening. so, it looks like we have about 60,000 ballots left statewide with 20,000 votes in maricopa and pima county. and then, banal
