The surest sign that democracy in America got a second wind is that Kathleen Marie Hobbs - call her Katie - has successfully been installed as Governor of Arizona.
As you will recall, her opponent in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election was former TV anchor Kari Lake, who refused to concede the election and sued to have the results overturned, or something to that effect. Lake is the only Republican also-ran form the 2022 midterm elections to challenge the results of the vote, and for awhile it looked like what happened in Washington on January 6, 2021 would be replicated in Phoenix on January 2, 2023. But Inauguration Day in Arizona came and went without incident, and Governor Hobbs has gotten right to work. And that is the last we will ever hear of Kari Lake.
Oops! Correction: Lake is now a front-runner for Kyrsten Sinema's U.S. Senate seat.
The pro-democracy faction won the 2022 midterms, but that was just a battle. The war goes merrily on.
