Hobbs’s campaign manager, Nicole DeMont, stated that the Democrat would not share the stage with a “conspiracy theorist” after the campaign faced mounting pressure to debate from Arizona’s Clean Elections Commission (CEC).
“Unfortunately, debating a conspiracy theorist like Kari Lake – whose entire campaign platform is to cause enormous chaos and make Arizona the subject of national ridicule – would only lead to constant interruptions, pointless distractions, and childish name-calling,” DeMont said in a statement.
She noted that Hobbs, who is Arizona’s secretary of state, “remains willing and eager to participate in a town hall style event.”
.@katiehobbs says no for the second and final time to a debate with @KariLake. How pathetic and weak. She refused to debate her Democratic opponent in the primary as well. Nobody this weak can lead a shift at McDonald’s let alone lead Arizona. pic.twitter.com/IHmAHyHgvw

She can simply take a lid in the basement and let Dominion take care of the rest
Lake need a to hammer home that Hobbs treats her as illegitimate because she believes Arizonans who don’t think in lockstep with the radical left are illegitimate. Be loud and clear “Arizonans who don’t want to become California, it’s not me she hates, it’s you. I am just in the way”
First Hobbs, then Fetterman, then any other Democrat who's behind in the polls. They will say that they don't want to legitimize semi-fascists by sharing the same stage with them and give them a microphone to spread their anti-American hate.
Will Mark Kelly be next? Raphael Warnock? Josh Shapiro?

she should put a cat on the empty chair
Start referring to her as “California Karen” Hobbes in a couple ads and she’ll take notice.
Is this the same dem politician that was caught in a menage a trois with a staffer? By pics that she posted?
And she still thinks she can be in politics?
