AZ-GOV 2022: Yee in

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

So is this Lake person really gonna win this?

Probably. Get ready for the Arizona 2024 election results to be overturned if Biden wins the state. Sinema is digging her own grave unless she plans to switch parties.

That's why Ds are trying to win wave insurance seats and keep a slim Majority in the H, if we get a 53 seat Majority and 222/216FH we don't know how many Rs are gonna lose in Cal Tester, Ryan will pass DC Statehood and Sinema will be reelected

Brutal story for Katie Hobbs

A Black woman who served as a policy adviser to AZ Senate Democrats when Hobbs was Senate Minority Leader was paid 30K less than her Republican counterparts. She just won a million dollar judgment for sex/race discrimination… a rebuke to Hobbs and her testimony during the lawsuit.

Can we not nominate her please? She’s gonna lose to freaking Kari Lake.

Ugh, not good.

I don't think that should automatically disqualify her if she actually wants to work on the issue as gov. It's fair to question that committment though. That said, I don't see Dems having a stronger candidate as this race is already Lean R.

If Lake wins, it doesn't matter who wins the AZ electoral votes. They will be awarded to Trump.

In all seriousness though I totally share you concern. We don't need these sort of brain dead truthers in public office.

That pretty much clears it for Lake. My prediction is that Lake wins the general election by about 51-45.

Probably not a bad idea.

She can always run against Sinema (or Gallego) in 2024.

There's always a major race or two that parties manage to blow in otherwise favorable years. Waves are never uniform. Just saying.

She probably wins reelection this year and then runs for the Senate in 2024

Especially gubernatorial elections, which don't always mirror waves. See the 2010 MN gov race, the 2014 PA race, the 2018 CT race being competitive in a solid blue state, and MA, MD, VT, and NH races being GOP wins (some (all?) being landslides) the same year.

[xavier110]

Coincidentally today is when campaign finance reports are due for 2021, so she probably raised nothing.

Real question is where institutional money goes, if anywhere, to stop Lake. Guessing not Salmon. Maybe they rally behind Karrin Taylor Robson? Or they give up and pray Qari doesn’t do some crazy sh*t this year?

This map is not gonna happen Biden isn't Hillary and we will win MI, WI and PA especially Pa with Shapiro

[xavier110]

At Trump’s rally today, Lake said anyone involved in the 2020 race should be locked up, lol

Some nice fascist rhetoric for AZ indies to think about

[Utah Neolib]

Robinson (R) has done surprisingly well in fundraising and may be the candidate many non-Lake republicans vote for

I've long gotten these types of vibes from this race, though I'm going to need to see Hobbs ahead in some polls before actually making hat declaration.

Maybe it’s time to rename this thread “Yee out”

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

AZ have SPL it's votes for Gov and Senate in 2018 it can do so again, likewise in GA Warnock can beat Herschel Walker and Abrams can lose, don't underestimate Kemp he has a large warchest, but Mark Kelly will win for sure

GA will go to a Runoff anyways

Yeet

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Since there isn't any polls Lake probably narrowly ahead 44/40 and so is Brian Kemp or Perdue over Stacy Abrams well within the margin of error just like CCM and SISOLAK are down 44/40

That's not Safe R that the Compiled map has it out to be, the compiled map is wrong Rs sweeping every state just like D's aren't sweeping OH, NC, FL along with WI, PA , GA, NH, NV and AZ

Yeah, she's a real winner.

Someone telling me this isn't a literal death cult...

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It's gonna get vetoed by Gov Evers they don't stop do they and even if they do Biden still won 296

[S019]

Just for the record, Lake isn't even spreading real news: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/01/26/fact-check-wisconsin-didnt-vote-recall-bidens-electoral-votes/9231893002/

Republicans could really own goal this race, and they'd have no one to blame but themselves. Yee wouldn't have won by much, but she would've almost certainly won.

I surprised I'm saying this, but I really wonder if there's a chance that Democrats win the governorship and a Republican wins the Senate race.
