Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and his Democratic successor, Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs, met Wednesday for the first time since Hobbs won the office, with Ducey pledging cooperation during crunch time for Hobbs to assemble her team.
“All of us have waited patiently for the democratic process to play out," Ducey said in a Wednesday statement."The people of Arizona have spoken, their votes have been counted, and we respect their decision." Because New Year's Day falls on Sunday next year, the holiday is observed Monday. As a result, the incoming administration is planning an invite-only inauguration address later in the week, Bones said in a call with reporters.
On Jan. 9, a week after being sworn in, Hobbs will deliver her first State of the State address to the 90 members of the Legislature and deliver her budget proposal Jan. 13. Both speeches will set the tone for Hobbs' agenda for her first year in office, offering road maps of her priorities. Before the opening chapter of her four-year term, Hobbs will assemble her executive team and evaluate individuals to head Arizona's about three dozen state agencies. If tradition holds, that could mean vast turnover among current department leaders.
He's a RINO and is weak.
Congress Hobbs .
This is the only area where Ducey has earned my respect.
Time to pull your children out of Arizona public schools Katie Hobbs first on her agenda is going after the children with forced grooming and CRT
Ducey is cavorting with the witch who will welcome even more thousands of illegals into AZ. Every democrats dream of future voters!
“Transition into power” this statement alone is weak
Well now we know why she found no need to campaign
POS
RINO
How utterly pathetic
Swamp supports Swamp always. The true rule of Law is dead. Our votes do not count. The destruction of liberty on this earth will be laid at their feet and they will answer to God for every suffering, ruined, abused person that results from their criminal activity. It is written.
Katie , get away from him, he is a puppet for Koch, we voted for you to clean up his huge MESS ! Just clean house in every state agency he put those who are unqualified , along with putting incompetent in as judges. !
Of course he does he slept with communist Hobbs. Dare you to actually print this chickens
katiehobbs Not my governor!
Yeah but we don’t, screw katiehobbs 🖕🖕🖕🖕
Corrupt POS
They are going to transition to Gitmo.
Way to go Arizona, more fraudulent than Tammany Hall.
Both will go down in history as politicians who certified the most corrupt elections in US history. Media like Propaganda Central have never covered the evidence uncovered by the series of audits completed on the 2020 Maricopa Election. It is happening again due media like this.
Looks like she is in a hurry. Not so fast cheater.
Doug Ducey is a disgrace
Although I have not agreed with Ducey on a score of issues, this former registered Republican, now a registered Democrat, thanks him for congratulating Secretary Hobbs on her victory. I thank him again for accepting Joe Biden as being elected in 2020.
What a joke!!
Big mistake!
RINO hack supporting a democrat cheater. Typical.
Both are corrupt
What are there plans to close the border,lowering gasoline prices, lowering food costs, making are voting process so it don't take long to count , Bring integrity, honesty, And trust to vote. How can you get trust when you have the one running the voting running for office
Thanks Gov Ducey for ensuring our democracy endures by accepting the outcome of the election. Kari Lake needs to move to Russia where her style of politics would fit in perfectly
Doug can stand wherever he wants. Doesn't make the election certified .
Hobbs: -Racism cost AZ millions. -Called Republicans nazis. -Insulted Hispanics. -No restrictions on abortion. -Barely campaigned (mostly union and Planned Parenthood events). -Refused to debate any opponents. -Poorly run elections (sending out wrong ballots and broken machines).
WOW...make the 🐂💩 train Stop!!! No one believes anything you say anymore!!! 🤡🤡🤡
RIGGED
AZ's voting process and the ridiculously long time to tabulate votes is the laughing stock of the nation. Change the laws...become better, faster, and cheaper. Look to Florida for how to do it. Ducey was a mediocre gov who ironically aided in turning AZ to a blue lib state.
Duchey can suck it.
If I ever see Ducey again it will be to soon
Having a corrupt election,make that two corrupt elections, while governor, doesn't look good on a resume.
Is there a final certified vote yet?
Sick of the collusion
choirqueen1 kudos for ducey doing the right thing
The people don't and we are the boss.
OVER 1.2 MILLION ARIZONA VOTERS WANTED TO ELECT A RABBLE-ROUSING LIAR & INSURRECTIONIST & CRYPTO-NAZI LIKE KARI LAKE AS THEIR GOVERNOR. AND STILL WE CAN WONDER WHY OUR ONCE-GREAT DEMOCRACY IS DESCENDING INTO ANOTHER 1930s GERMANY ? GOD HELP AMERICA !!! Dr. Richard France
Pathetic RINO.
Is election denial an official part of the Republican platform now?
Hobbs was installed, like a plumber instals a toilet.
Not so fast, corrupted people's...
Rigged AF. What a joke.
your reporting is as biased as CNN.
I sure hope the courts will here the case here in AZ.
Treason does get prosecuted in America? Representing non Arizona citizens equals treason right? Any 1 organiz8ng a class action lawsuit? These traitors are bonded right?
Never trust a RINO
Just so you know all of America and the world know Arizona elections were bs. Plus you are a propaganda pushing fake news outlet. Have the day you deserve.
She couldn’t even run a election and now you want her to run the State. A New Election should happen with machines that work.
The citizens of Arizona will never accept Hobbs as governor. Constitutional crisis.
How many voting machines were disabled on Election Day? Eggs honest person could certify knowing how corrupt this election was on ED? Corrupt politicians!!!!👀
EVERYONE knows this is complete BS…
Congratulations.... you voted and support a racist. Clap clap clap. Google it if you are not aware.
He is a disgrace and a traitor to his citizens. The election was rigged and any fool can see it was.
Good job Ducey keep crying you conspiracy theory loving MAGA cult members. Have fun wasting your time at the State Capitol and being taken for all you got by the grifters
GOP elites stiffing Magats. You love to see it. And when Ducey runs for Senate the Magats will stiff him right back. Let these two eat each other
Will the Grand Wizard Katie wear her KKK hood for her 'inauguration'?
Their standards are extremely low. They don’t even have the respect to let Jari make her case. Katie Hobbs barely campaigned, avoided debating, has been convicted of racism twice. Third world country is an understatement. Arizonans need to rise up vocally. This cannot stand.
Who cares? Arizona go away already. You couldn't run a fair election if you actually wanted to run a fair election. It's always something with an Arizona election. Just select the next stooge and move on. Jeez.
KariLake Cry more 🤣🤣
We’re all f*cked with that air head in office
Just as corrupt as she is, we aren’t surprised.
Not certified. And still active lawsuits and questions Maricopa must respond to.
We already saw this once 2020! How can this even be possible? RINO what RINO!
How is this possible when the election has yet to be certified?
DougDucey what an absolute despicable sorry excuse for half human you are. Is this the best in Arizona can elect Dung Ducey
Governor dunce?
Fraud.
Of course he would. He’s part of the problem.
Long time Arizonans have wanted the heavy influx of new residents to stop for a long time. Congrats. That will now happen. The left will blame it on a global shit show of some sort.
Oh hell no. Lotta nerve.
Meanwhile, over in the fever swamp, gateway pundit is high on some really good sh*t!
I applaud you comrades. Soviets are smiling upon you . When do the gulags begin?
Disgusting! He will go down as a traitor
Of course he does. He helped her steal it.
Don't believe for one second that Arizonans voted for this commie. Once the hammer falls these traitors will be turning on each other just to save their own asses.
And , right now I bet you’re uncomfortable as well. The biased, pivotal role you played in this WORLD WIDE HUMILIATING EMBARRASSMENT, (that us citizens of the Great State of Arizona have been enduring), was seen and meticulously documented by the everyone. Oops 😬
Why ? It's obvious she's incompetent - just because she can fix an old race again.....hmmm - does he know?
As expected by the same invertebrate who, in 2020, handed the world over to the psychotic people of the lie. Must be an uneasy feeling to live in his skin 😬 I would not want to be in his shoes right now as he has to follow their orders, all of them, forever and ever and ever…
Thieves
Screw Ducey, why he is a RINO
Hobbs not good for AZ
Can you spell 'RINO'
Corrupt loser let the 2020 fraud go unchallenged too just like Kemp. Was there a car explosion in AZ that I didn’t read about?
The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do. Joseph Stalin Let's not be a communist nation. Our people's vote MUST count even if an election is redone
Why does Doug Ducey welcoming her in feel like Fox news rushing to call Arizona two years ago? It’s the same shenanigans. Hurry it through so no one can argue.
The fact that this is even a headline and story says it all. Until Trump, the transition of power was just an ordinary part of the democratic process. It wasn't a story.
Cult will now turn on him in 3, 2, 1
The corruption never ends
As she should. This trump bs about every election they lose is rigged is getting old.
Uniparty strikes again.
Pair of garbage humans
ELECTION HAS BEEN BLOCKED FROM CERTIFICATION AND FOR THIS TURD CENTRAL TO IGNORE THAT IS NOT NEWS
American voters value a smooth transition! Thank you Doug Ducey and katiehobbs
There is no more Democracy in Arizona, Ducey is corrupt. Darkness has coved America.
I'm just here to laugh at all the GQP cultists dumping on Ducey after backing him to the hilt in 2014 and 2018.
It’s called the real world of sane people.
Ducey should resign as head as the RGA immediately - your job is to win elections and you FAILED! Obviously you suck at your job Duce. 😒🤦🏻♂️
So much corruption.
The whole fake conspiracy theories about the election will be a tactic MAGA will try to use every election
Kari Lake would have been the best thing to ever happen to Arizona.
It just flat out amazes me that someone who didn't campaign or debate won the election. She even refused to answer the media alot. I guess arizonians like knowing their candidates policies after they are in office.
How it should be. At least someone has some god damn common sense around here.
Just like 2020. It's rigged.
Dark days for Arizona. You can all see now what a soggy dishrag Governor Ducey has been all along. He didn't want Kari Lake making things better for Arizona and is happy to rush Hobbs into the governorship. If Arizonans accept this they are doomed.
Both horrible picks
He’s been promised a senate seat in return.
Yeah I totally stand by and election it had major issues and meet us the laughingstock of the country no worries there
Well he has always been a week stooge.
He is corrupt.
