kari-lake will be a rising star in GOP. Question is how effective she will be as Gov. She’s lucky that Ducey is leaving AZ in great fiscal shape. Hope she maintains the status quo with his appointments etc.
A large part of her success will depend on the down ballot elections in the legislature. If I recall correctly, Arizona redistricting is handled by an “independent” commission that in the past was dominated by Democrats. But the latest news seems optimistic for Republicans
The commission initially voted to finalize and certify the legislative map plan on Jan. 21.[8] The commission’s nonpartisan chairwoman, Erika Neuberg, joined the two Republican members—David Mehl and Douglas York—voting in favor of the map. The commission’s two Democratic members—Shereen Lerner and Derrick Watchman—were opposed.[9] This map takes effect for Arizona’s 2022 legislative elections.

Edit. The connection by the left-wing news media to the United States. LOL
The article is definitely from a left-wing perspective but I sense panic by the Democrats. Here is the article’s version of “Republicans pounce”
Ronald S. Lauder, the billionaire cosmetics heir, put more than $9 million into a pair of pro-Zeldin super PACs at the start of September, almost single-handedly bankrolling statewide television ads that savage Ms. Hochul’s record on public safety.
Surprisingly, Fetterman is ahead in the polls as of yesterday. Hope to see new polls later this week. I’m all for supporting and helping people with disabilities, including the effects of a stroke, but a senator needs to be healthy and articulate.
Differences between stated and privately held opinions were as high as 14 percentage points among all Americans and soared even higher among certain subgroups.
Like most Fox news anchors she aged out while the men are still there…
