hobbs: yes. sorry. lady had her hand up first. >> what can we do about the people that are harassing voters at the drop boxes and will be at the polls and scaring away the election workers? that is such a frightening thing and i am not sure what we can do. ms. hobbs: that is very likely voter intimidation and should be reported because it is not legal. every single eligible voter has the right to cast their ballot without interference. we are encouraging people to report it to my office, the -- encourage people to report it if they see or experience it to my office, the secretary of state's office. there was a report filed with us. we have sent them to the department of justice and the attorney general. those are the authorities that can investigate. i am hopeful the news coverage of that incident makes people aware and they know they can report if they are experiencing it. this is something we anticipated, so we have been working to get out in front of it. make sure people know there is a mechanism. it

[chanting "hobbs! hobbs!] >> let's do it, 17 more days. let's get the latinos out to vote. let's fight for her. let's get out the vote. [chanting katie! katie!] >> let's do it. ms. hobbs: thank you, everybody, for coming. we appreciate your support and all your love. [crowd murmurs] >> we need you. arizona needs you. ms. hobbs: thank you so much. all right. thank you. [crowd murmurs] [crowd murmurs] >> a couple of quick questions, why is it so important to resonate with latino youth? >> when it comes to uplifting our latino communities, that we are implement and policies that work for everyone in our state. >> this is a do over chance, what have you learned from the latino community? >> you can't separate latino culture from arizona, it is who we are as a state. this the things i've learned from latino women i had a chance to work with, they have the most barriers and challenges and they were willing to take the risk for their families, to protect the family. when i thought about that, it just really was something i realized had impacted my work throughout my time in govern

candidate cary who has opened a three-point lead against democrat gutless katie hobbs, hobbs who is currently collecting a pay petch as arizona secretary of state has only shown up to work a grand total 19 days in six months. wish i had that job. she didn't enter office for the entire month of april and august. meanwhile schwab's not exactly working hard on the campaign trail either. she has participated and this is so unfair to you the hard working citizens taxpayers of this state of arizona, zero debates. she refuses to debate in the primary and general election. katie hobbs would rather hide in her basement bunker like her mentor joey biden probably asleep in the show. cary has offered to debate. hobbs can't seem to muster up the courage. >> why have you refused to debate your opponent? >> it is honestly ridiculous that somebody who has based their whole campaign on these lies that are intended to dismantle or democracy that somehow the problem is i won't give her a bigger stage to do that. >> why not challenge her in a public forum? i'm just curious. >> as far as i'm concerned the debate

katie hobbs does.] so, you should never have a boss force you to get an experimental shot, ever. we are going to stop this nonsense. we are going to fight for parents' rights. we are going to fight for parents' rights and make sure that we have a free arizona. i just talked to some people from new jersey. they flew down to meet me, and i was so pleased by that. they said, we wish you had someone -- we wish we had someone like you running in new jersey. we need good republican governors in all 50 states. i've been with this guy all day. i love him before. i really love him now. governor glenn youngkin has been with me all day. he's been fantastic. [cheering and applause] if you're going to fall in love with this guy. he won against all odds. virginia looked like a lost cause, didn't it? and here comes this guy in a red vest. who the heck is this? and he wins. i'm going to tell you, one of my dear friends lives in virginia. she said, we love governor youngkin. he got our kids out of the masks. he got the

secretary hobbs, good morning. welcome to "face the nation." your opponent said you don't want to debate. i'd like to ask you, are there any conditions under which you would agree to debate kari lake so the voters of arizona could hear from the two of you, in real-time side by side? >> what i've focused on are opportunities where they can see us back to back and hear from us about issues important to arizonans and how we would govern without a circus like she created during the gop republican primary. i have no desire to be a part of the spectacle she's looking to create because that doesn't do any service to the voters of arizona, to hear from us where we sound on the issues and how we would govern. >> so, sometimes voters learn things from moments of duress or challenge or circus. don't you think you're strong enough to handle any kind of circus kari lake might present, if she were to present one? don't the arizona voters deserve to see that real? >> i think the voters of arizona have had a chance to see how i work under crisis throughout my

you never see katie hobbs anywhere. nowhere. >> reporter: during that rally last night, i also want to bring attention here to mark fincham, cowboy hat, mustached secretary of state candidate. during that trump rally, he tweeted, "all i want for christmas is a few arrests of election fraud criminals." i asked mark about that and he suggested there is already indications of potential voter irregularities, that there are individuals from the state of new mexico that are crossing into arizona, illegally registering to vote. the table is already being set by the republican candidates in a potentially close battle to claim voter fraud and irregularities at the same time. they very well could outright win it without even having to make such claims, guys. >> vaughn, of course claims are absolutely outrageous. you look at the slate of statewide candidates in arizona for people like me who actually, i don't know, i like western democracy, i like free elections, i think people that lose elections -- you know, for me, i'm very rat

here with me now is katie hobbs. we have a lot to get to. you were secretary of state. were in 2020. your reaction to what you just heard on that issue from kari lake. >> i think anyone running for office who continues to say there was widespread fraud. they say they have evidence, they have yet to bring any evidence forward. you and i have talked about this so many times. this is absolutely disqualifying. this is somebody who will have a level of authority over our state's elections, the ability to sign new legislation into law, the responsibility of certifying future elections and she has, not only as you heard, refused to say if she'll accept the results of this election, but also whether or not she would certify the 2024 presidential election if she's governor. this is disqualifying. this is a basic core of our democracy, and she has nothing else to run on. this is what she has centered her entire campaign around. >> let's talk about the issue of abortion. you said last week that you support leaving the decision between a woman and her doctor and leaving politicians

katie hobbs does. your schools to teach your children what to think and not how to think? katie hobbs does. do you want your law enforcement to demean and demoralize? katie hobbs does. do you want the border to be wide open and fentanyl flowing into our country? katie hobbs does. this is what she believes. and friends, this is what we have to avoid, and i will repeat something that kari lake just said, you need a fighter and you got one. that's what you've got. you need a leader that is going to understand that she works for you and let me tell you, i think you hire her, that's what i think. she stands for low taxes, she stands for small business, she stands for your children, she knows that parents matter, she standing up for law enforcement, and she's going to protect your constitutional rights, that's what she's going to do. come on, could it be any more clear? katie hobbs and joe biden are agents of chaos. everything they do makes things worse. we've got runaway inflation, no one can afford gas, yo

andrew: hobbs is running a relatively muted campaign.urse, by comparison to lake, a former television personality, it was always going to be difficult to top, i think, for hobbs. but i think her campaign would argue that she's trying to focus on the fundamentals. she's not holding big rallies. she's trying to reach voters at the doorstep, on the phones, trying to win votethat way. and i think that's a point democrats are trying to make, is they're trying to create a contrast between hobbs, who's a social worker, who's been a legislator and is now secretary of state, and lake, who has never been in government before. they're hoping to draw a contrast that will cast hobbs as really the candidate with the most experience, who's most able to govern. i thi the question going forward is going to be if this focus on fundamentals is running a more low key campaign is really going to be enough. i think there are some democrats and some independents who want hobbs to succeed who would argue it's not enough given the stakes of this race. geoff: and

and katie hobbs is running froie the interviewer. >> katie hobbs refuses toe debate. i think mark kelly wisheintervie refused to debate. >> what do you think? t stay with 's for the . all right. corey and blake will stayu he with us.re so i all of you here in arizona, you know all too well the dangers of biden's open borders and that agenda and to t help deal with the crisis, plae the state is now placed shipping containers alongs the borderalong th with mexico p deter illegal immigrants fromm s crossing the biden administration. and they'rsing the mad , theseiner shipping containers, it's like building your own little wall . wall. governor , do say i started this and put this up anyway.ided so they're now c biden and co. are demanding the containerse removed. we sent our very own investigative reporter be removed. a fr we sent our very own car investigative reporter and friend, sarah carterr , fox news contributor to the border,n no the shipping containers. and governor deucy is saying, i'm not going to remove them his away right now. the state of arizonahe is actual

mark kelly up above blake masters and you have kari lake up 4 points from katie hobbs.ri lake is giving us an indication of what's to come, expect a recount a runoff. and then again, your debate skills will be really important and i feel like if i was living in arizona i would want to hear the two of them on the stage together. >> if you're watching that interview you heard kari lake say people should know by the end of that day who won the race, and dana pressed her, but you have to count all the votes don't you want them all counted and she says you should be able to know right away who wins. that kind of signposts a little bit of what potentially could happen in terms of challenges. i'm wondering with so many distractions, you know, there are some real issues that candidates are trying to get at, and here are the ones that each believes just might resonate with voters. listen. >> dhs says that less than 1% of migrants encountered at the border have a criminal record, but i want to stick on the question of asylum, those that do meet the criteria. should they be applau

hobbs campaign says she has received hundreds of death threats.ard. what more do we know about the arrest here? what's the latest on this investigation just two weeks out from the midterms? >> reporter: we are still waiting for the identity of this individual. and the question of whether this is politically motivated at all. the phoenix pd tells me they will be releasing more details shortly here. but this break-in took place two nights ago according to phoenix police. it was reported to them yesterday afternoon by the hobbs campaign. there were images of an individual, that they caught on security camera footage here at the office. they believe that that is the individual that committed this alleged crime. but then this is where kind of the politics comes into play. last night, katie hobbs' campaign put out a lengthy statement in part calling out the kari lake campaign for putting a target on katie hobbs and the secretary of state, her campaign's backs, over the course of the last year and a half. of course, it is important to note that there is

and the question about the results for her democratic opponent, katie hobbs, that she says she's not ready to answer. >> tracking a new coast-to-coast storm sweeping across the country. watches and warnings from california to colorado. heavy rain, strong winds, and more than a foot of mountain snow expected. rob marciano timing it out. >>> the urgent search underway tonight for a missing family of four. the new surveillance image released by police. the family disappearing after the father made a disturbing call to 911. >>> the mystery uncovered in the backyard. landscapers discovering a car buried for decades behind a $15 million mansion. >>> and "america strong" tonight. the mother and father and the life-saving gifts to their young children. >>> good evening. it's great to have you with us on a friday night. i'm mary bruce in for david. we begin with that breaking news into the investigation into the attack on the capital. the house issued a subpoena to former president trump, to provide documents and testimony, setting the stage for a potentially historic legal battle. in a lette

katie hobbs' refusal to debate her reinforces that hobbes is scared.an candidates on the ground in the primary, but kari lake has shown herself to be a very adept politician with years of media training being in the media and it's working to her advantage. >> i want to asking about what he just mentioned, the debate, the lack thereof, right? katie hobbs when she started running was hailed as a hero across the country because she counted the ballots fairly in the state of arizona. but now even many democrats are criticizing her for refusing to debate kari lake. kari lake has made this the centerpiece of her campaign. she calls out hobbs for this every chance she gets. >> why is it that katie hobbs will not debate? what is she trying to keep you from? what is she hiding? >> the people of arizona will never support and vote for a coward like katie hobbs who won't show up on a debate stage. >> i'm doing a debate on sunday and i'm inviting katie hobbs to show up on sunday. i hope she will. did somebody say chicken? i didn't say that. somebody said it. >> ho

he's doing better than katie hobbs because he's an incumbent.used the two years of incumbency that he's had quite well. he's a goods candidate and blake masters doesn't have, let's say, the media ability that kari lake has. he's not as good on tv and his positions, if anything, have been as or more extreme that kari lake, particularly on abortion he scrubbed his website. it's hard to take away your position when you're an absolutist anti-choice politician which he has been. >> ron, trump was in nevada last night, in arizona today, as kyung was just saying. i want to play this moment from republican senator tommy tube tuberville. the comment was undeniably racist. let's listen. >> some people say, well, they're soft on crime. no, they're not soft on crime. they're pro crime. they want crime. they want crime because they want to take over what you got. they want to control what you have. they want reparation because they think the people that due the crime are owed that. bullshit. they are not owed that. >> it's obviously a repugnant, bigoted comm

who is this katie hobbs anyway?he democrats thought cavanaugh's yearbook was controversial because he drink? well, we got a hold of katie hobbs high school yearbook back in the '80s, and katie hobbs organized a slave day at school, held auctions at her school, put freshmen in chains and seniors got to play a masters for the day. so let me get this straight, democrats are running a senate candidate who chased some black guy out of town in pennsylvania, and a gubernatorial candidate in arizona who held a mock option, has anybody even asked katie hobbs about this? of course not, she is a democrat. democrats can just get behind candidates in blackface or even behind presidents who speak at the funerals of klansmen. >> is there a week limited different than 15 weeks you are in favor of? >> i don't support the 15 week ban. >> in britain arizona voter were to conclude from your previous answer that you do not favor any specific week limit on abortion, would they be correct? >> i support leaving the decision between a woman

basically saying that hobbs campaign made it up. she even made a reference to a discredited actor who was convicted of lying to the police. take a listen. >> that is absolutely absurd. and are you guys buying that? are you really buying that? this sounds like a jussie smullet part two. i don't know where her campaign office is, i'm assuming it's in a basement somewhere, because that's where she's been campaigning. >> reporter: 12 days left for this campaign in the race for governor here in arizona. so this incident is certainly going to make things a little bit more complicated between these two campaigns. >> some unsportsmanlike conduct happening for sure there in arizona. we appreciate that report. >>> in georgia, herschel walker is facing new allegations from a second woman. the unidentified woman claims they had a romantic relationship and he pressured her into having an abortion. herschel walker again denying the claim. eva mckennd is on the trail and joining us live. >> reporter: herschel walker waking up to another difficult

and that's key here because what we saw from the hobbs' campaign, the democratic, katie hobbs, what we heard from the campaign last night is that they were trying to attach this to kari lake's rhetoric. so far it appears to be a very thin attachment or lack of evidence to any sort of political motivation, wolf. >> standby, kyung lah. dana, i want to turn to pennsylvania right now where democratic candidate for senate john fetterman is acknowledging he struggled when he debated the republican candidate dr. mehmet oz earlier this week. how are voters and donors responding? >> with concern because of what they saw but maybe not complete surprise given the fact that the fetterman campaign was very careful and strategic in releasing his doctor's note before this debate explaining his issues and the fact he has issues with taking information and kind of turning it into words. it's not that he doesn't comprehend. it's turning that into the words he uses, which is not easy when you're in a high level debate. those debates are not easy for anybody never mind somebody five months out from a stro

the hobbs campaign released this statement saying, quote, secretary hobbs and her staff have faced hundredsf death threats and threats of violence over the course of this campaign. the threats against arizonians attempting to exercise their constitutional rights and attacks on officials are the result of a concerted campaign of lies and intimidation. this iss pointing the finger at kari lake. and lake last night responded to that statement. take a listen. >> that is absolutely absurd. are you guys buying that? are you really buying that? this sounds like a jussie smollett part ii. i can't believe she would blame me for something like that. i don't know where her campaign office is. i'm assuming it's in a basement somewhere because that's where she's been campaigning. >> that reference to jussie smollett is lake questioning whether this burglary even happened. victor, bianna. >> thank you. >>> there's also a new twist in the critical u.s. senate race in georgia. staunch abortion opponent herschel walker is facing a second allegation now that he paid for an abortion years ago. >> the unnamed

hobbs is facing counts ranging from felony false imprisonment to misdemeanor sexual battery. i think what has helped is the number of victims who have come forward. it's certainly helps when we build a case to see a pattern. of conduct so that someone can't make an excuse in one situation that it was harmless or unintentional hubs is six ft. four with a buzz cut in several tattoos, including evil written across his fingers. he had been spotted all over san francisco and was ultimately taken into custody friday afternoon on the 3200 block of van ness with the attention that this has gotten publicly that people really expect a different outcome, and we'll see if that comes to pass, the district attorney's office will seek pretrial detention for hobbs because they say he is a risk to public safety. in san francisco and ruben ktvu, fox two news. new at 11 at venetia middle school math teacher arrested on suspicion of having inappropriate sexual communications with a student 56 year old kurt mike sindel was taken into custody today and has been placed on administrative leave schoo

no wonder hobbs refuses to debate lake.ing this is a medical decision between the patient and the doctor. to which lake might say like a vaccine? it's a politicians choice what goes into your body or comes out. we will never see that because she refuses to debate. this is the democrat's platform. january 6th and abortions! that's what they are running on sort of. but actually the real thing they are running on their main platform is fantasy. denial. none of the problems you may have noticed and it's hard to ignore them. none in biden's america are real. there is no recession. it's not a recession. that's racist. stop saying that. no fentanyl crisis at least in ukraine where it matters. okay, no problem. there are problems in this country. the united states of america. rice was a high government official. he served in the clinton administration and was a smart guy. he wrote a piece explaining that rising crime is the fault of the republican party because guns -- rising crime rates are due to the proliferation of guns. okay!

and that's the connection the hobbs campaign is making saying the rhetoric they believed then allowedn. so that was the implication, and lake has been tearing into the press for repeating that. what we are hearing from the hobbs campaign is that they're continuing to talk about that hostile environment. and let me read you a little quote here. in that statement they say, quote, let me be clear kari lake's preposterous allegation this break-in was staged is unfounded and her refusal to condemn the threats that have become more common in our politics continues to stoke chaos. let's zoom out now, erin. what does this really mean for the race for governor? i just got a quote from a state gop operative, and he said and it really just boils it down that hobbs is the victim of a small burglary, but lake is the winner in this story. it is a victory lap for her, that news conference that she had. on this roundabout this burglary lake wins. and so what we don't know is how does this play out in the minds of voters? we are 12 days away until election day. early voting is under way. do they care

katie hobbs will join us. the candidate for governor in arizona, where it's possible, if she doesn't win, arizona might never again have a fair election. the republican candidate for governor, for secretary of state, for attorney general, all say donald trump won the last presidential election. >> i think it's important to underscore that in many cases women are the last frontier between the country and a precipice of election denialism. these are not just republican candidates. don bolduc, kari lake, these people are a new strain of conservative, and it gives conservativism a bad name, but this is really, they are the gatekeepers between democracy and chaos in a lot of respects, so paying attention to these candidates and listening to what the democrats have to say about the races is critical, with just 27 days to go. >> we really have to have as many candidates on as we can. >> can't wait to see it. >> thanks alex. i want to begin tonight with a pledge to you, the audience of this program, this is a serious

so i understand hobbs reluctance but it is not sufficient.how you could take that on. >> and let's talk about pennsylvania. i want to talk about that senate race there. mehmet oz is distancing himself from his campaign. some of his campaign staffers have attacked john fetterman over his health issues. let's take a listen to some of this. >> i have tremendous compassion for what john if thorman is going through. not only do i as a doctor, i know his ailment because it is a specialty of mine and i accepted responsibility and i deal with issues as they come up. but he has his own set of issues and we should have had a debate already. >> would you ever talk to your patients like this? >> no. >> john, how do you see this breaking down in the final analysis? it seems like this race is just all been about fetterman's health in recent days. i suppose it has to cut two different ways. and sympathy for fetterman, but also some questioning as to what mehmet oz is doing sort of feeding into this. >> dr. oz's campaign has been sort of like a bumper car ca

secretary hobbs, thank you so much for making time for us.ike to start with what we saw this last week. you had a federal judge in phoenix reject an attempt to stop these drop box watchers. aside from referring these cases to law enforcement, how else is your office assuring voters that they can safely cast their votes? >> i think the publicity, the level of publicity that these complaints have reached has helped to inform voters of the rights, make sure that they know that they are able to cast their ballots free from harassment and intimidation, and then that there is a recourse to report these incidents that -- and that there are other avenues that they can return their ballot if they feel intimidated at a certain location. but it is imperative that these investigative bodies are quickly to address this, because there are ten days left in the election, and the courts made it clear that they will not stop it now, so we need quick action from the investigative of 30s. >> what's at stake here in your states races? if any one of these republic

hobbs is accused of following grabbing and kissing women. police say in many cases he would inappropriately touched the victim, then immediately flee the scene. usually always traveling groups. the university of san francisco's public safety department sent out a safety bulletin with this photo of the suspect. his students last month. the students say they have been vigilant ever since. probably not going as many places off campus by myself like. >> especially when it started to get tired just being cautious going to be. >> investigators have linked the suspect to at least 14 incidents and believe he may be involved in cases dating back to 2021 around one 30 friday afternoon. kron 4 was notified. the suspect was reportedly sitting on this corner of and polk streets. the passerby called 9-1-1 and was told officers were on the way about an hour later as apd arrested hobbs just around the corner in the area of venice and north point street near aquatic park. in a tweet, the san francisco district attorney's office, thank police for the safe arr

we have senator mark kelly from arizona, katie hobbs running for governor of arizona, governor kathy hochul of new york running in new york, beto o'rourke running for governor in texas. they all have one thing in common. one very important thing in common. every one of them is running against an election denier. the republican candidate for governor in new york voted to overturn the presidential election as a republican member of the house representatives. that is how pervasive this is on the republican party. you cannot escape it. >> greg abbott, kari lake, these are important names to remember as you talk to the candidates that he will have tonight. lawrence, that is a great group of people, and a very important time. >> thank you, alex. >> have a good show. >> thank you. >> the first time that i heard that this was the most important election of our lives, it was in 1968, when i was way too young to vote and the vietnam war was raging and there was a chance to stop that war. in the election of 1968. but republican richard nixon won the presidency, and the war raged on, and many ti

is this going to change the way anyone is going to vote for either katie hobbs or kari lake? that's unclear. what we do know is that voters do move based on the economy. that's what we keep hearing from voters over and over again, that they are worried about the cost of gas, the cost of the price of living, the issues of democracy. these are some of the more substantive issues that people are really thinking about, anderson. >> kyung lah, appreciated. also in arizona, the nonpartisan -- recently switched the rating of republican blake masters effort to unseat senator mark kelly back to toss-up from lean democrat. here to talk about the implications, cnn chief political correspondent, -- former vermont governor and democratic national commissioner right now. governor dean, how much trouble do you think the democrats are in if they lose the arizona senate seat in the midterms? >> look, i expect to pick up two or three seats in the senate for the democrats. i don't expect mark to lose a seat. look, you know, trump is inserted himself into this election. so if you vote for, you k

police in phoenix have arrested a man in a break-in at the headquarters of katie hobbs.nix tonight there has been a lot of finger-pointing so far. kyung, what is the latest about this break-in? >> well, let's go over first of all, anderson, what phoenix police are telling us. they tell us they have indeed arrested a suspect, a 36-year-old man. his name is daniel moat to dos reyes. he has been booked on one count of third-degree burglary. here's what the phoenix police did not say. they did not say that the burglary at katie hobbs' campaign headquarters in phoenix was politically motivated. it does not appear that there is any evidence that it was. it appears to be an unfortunate crime, and that is not the assumption what the hobbs campaign was working under when they released statements last night. certainly we're seeing the repercussions oafter that today politically. >> so kari lake held what her campaign termed an emergency press conference this evening. what did she say? >> i would character it more as a political victory lap. so far more -- about an hour, i would sa

hobbs doesn't want to. she refused to debate kari lake. okay. how does hobbs plan to win?s week, hobbs who is again the secretary of state of arizona in challenger of election -- charge of elections said voters received ballots with only the federal elections on it. assuming that all votes are counted, and we should never take that on faith. we have a right to have it proven to us that the election is fair. if it is fair. kari lake will win. she is leading in every poll. so you have to wonder if there is a person running for governor ever arizona with every person against her with institutional power and she will win anyway. maybe she is doing something other republicans should learn about. we invited kari lake on the show to pass on advice to other candidates. you were so attacked and reviled that news channels didn't bother to talk to you because there was no chance you could win. now you are winning. what advice would you give to other candidates? >> fight back! here's the beautiful thing, tucker. people are not watching these news channels. i know it because i was priv

hobbs says that lake has turned the gop into a circus.o one's talking about the issues, talking about inflation, immigration, abortion. >> no. it's very much a personality contest. to some extent, all of politics is a little bit of a personality contest. no one goes to a website and looks at -- very few people go to a website and look at all the policy proposals, check them off, go to the other website and say i had more checks on this one. people vote on personality. the issue is that lake is a polished personality. she's spent decades doing what we do, talking on television. it's an acquired skill that she has. i think kate ind katy hobbs mad mistake by that. you look like you're running from that. you look like you don't feel like you can stands on the stage with kari lake. i don't think that's working in katie hobbs' favor. we'll find out in 17 days. i would circle fair, honest, and transparent. that used to be something we could all nod our head, shake hands and agree on. that's really in the eye of the beholder. and to yvonne's poin

katie hobbs, my opponent, has actually voted for, you look at her voting record, allowing a baby who survives an abortion that the hospital would refuse medical care and allow the baby to die on a cold, metal tray.

katie hobbs is the sitting secretary of state. she is one of those, along with the republican governor, the republican speaker of the house in arizona, trying to sort of defend the parameters of vote counting and how it should go, and now she's up against somebody who doesn't believe that the election was free and fair, falsely, in 2020, and she's not going to get on the debate stage. there was a debate scheduled and katie hobbs pulled out. so it has become an issue in a way that maybe shouldn't have, and it should be focused on what we were talking about, on things like inflation and abortion, but the fact that she won't debate has given kari lake a very wide opening. >> kari lake is very polished, right? >> she sat in these chairs for 27 years. she's very good on tv. she is a well-known figure because she's a longtime local anchor. >> maybe that's something that would be tough for katie hobbs or she certainly feels like there's some risk and maybe less reward in doing that. dana bash, great to have you. thank you for sharing you
