They say that you can’t argue with crazy. Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs [D] seems to have taken this advice to heart.
PHOENIX — Democrat Katie Hobbs’ campaign announced Sunday that she would not debate Republican Kari Lake as the two battle for the Arizona governor’s office, calling off any negotiations with Lake and the state commission overseeing debates.
The decision came after more than a week of efforts by Hobbs, currently secretary of state, to change the debate into separate half-hour interviews with the moderator.
Nicole DeMont [Katie Hobbs’ campaign manager] instead repeated the campaign's concerns that debating Lake would “just create another spectacle, like we saw in the GOP primary debate. But on top of that, I would just add, you can’t debate a conspiracy theorist and at the last debate, she brought the conversation back to the 2020 election no less than a dozen times.”
