Opinion from LaurieRoberts: Matt Salmon's withdrawal from the Arizona governor's race is great news for Karrin Taylor Robson and a potential disaster for Kari Lake.
With just eight days to go until early ballots go in the mail, Matt Salmon finally embraced reality and dropped out of the Republican race for Arizona governor.
“Republican primary voters deserve more than having their votes split on August 2nd, and so I am leaving this race for the same reason that I entered it: Because it is what's best for the people of Arizona,” he said in a statement. Kari Lake may be the hope and the pride of the angry far right, but the rest of the party isn’t buying what she’s selling.Taylor Robson, meanwhile, is catching up in the polls and has the money to go the distance in what now amounts to a one-on-one race.Lake, with her caustic approach and laughably thin resume, represents Hobbs’ best chance of becoming Arizona’s next governor.
But you won’t hear her screaming about a stolen election when the facts prove otherwise. She'll straddle the fence, talking about what she sees as unfair election practices but she won't fall into the looneyland of ballot mules, counterfeit paper and whatever may be the election conspiracy theory de jour.
