As of Thursday night, CBS News estimates the race for Arizona governor is a toss-up, as Democrat Katie Hobbs holds onto a slim lead of just over a point over Trump-backed Kari Lake.
Arizona's race for governor is one of the most closely watched in the country, largely because of the impact it could have on the 2024 presidential election. Lake, 53, still favors decertifying the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona, despite the fact that no credible evidence has been presented in Arizona to substantiate claims of widespread voter fraud.
During the campaign, Hobbs refused to debate Lake, whom she has said is just trying to create a spectacle. But Lake is also charismatic and comfortable on stage. As the "For almost 40 years now, I've been voting Republican," Cheney said during an event hosted by the McCain Institute at Arizona State University. "I don't know if I have ever voted for a Democrat, but if I lived in Arizona now, I absolutely would for governor and for secretary of state."
Lake also embraces Trump's issues, beyond the denial of the 2020 election. She has focused on security and immigration issues, which is part of the reason some voters are saying she's won their vote. She has said that she'll declare an invasion at the southern border and deport those who cross the border illegally.
