Ditto for Kari Lake. Arizona can flip R, but there is terrible corruption in Maricopa County. Her gubernatorial opponent, now Governor Katie Hobbs, is in the pocket of the Mexican cartels and the Maricopa County government and GOP are controlled by McCain leftovers.

DeSantis is not really southern
