Kari Lake has continued to gain ground on Katie Hobbs in the election count for Arizona governor. Hobbs now leads by a mere 50.1% to 49.9% margin and her lead is down to 4,750 votes with 30% of votes to still be counted.

Kari Lake’s television-ready demeanor, confrontations with journalists and combative message for Democrats made the first-time candidate a rising star on the right whose future in national politics is already being debated.
