CBS新闻预测,亚利桑那州州长凯蒂·霍布斯将赢得州长选举,击败了得到特朗普总统支持、且一直宣扬2020年总统选举阴谋论的众议员安迪·比格斯。
2022年,霍布斯仅以1.7万票的微弱优势击败共和党人卡里·莱克赢得选举,她此次竞选被认为是民主党人最难取胜的席位之一。
她此次的对手是特朗普总统在国会的核心盟友之一,而特朗普本人在2024年以5个百分点的优势赢得了亚利桑那州,并前往该州为比格斯助选。
在任期间,她不得不同由共和党控制的州议会参众两院合作,仅在就任第一年就否决了超过100项法案,今年早些时候更曾在一天内否决88项法案,因此被共和党人称为“否决女王”。
竞选期间,霍布斯不断强调与共和党人合作推动的法案,以此作为自己跨党派履职的资本。
而比格斯则是保守派派系“众议院自由核心小组”的前主席,已经代表梅萨附近的亚利桑那州第5选区连任五届。
2020年选举依旧是亚利桑那州的争议性话题,前总统乔·拜登仅以0.3%的得票率、即1.6万张选票的优势赢得该州。特朗普一直坚称自己赢得了该州,而这里也成了阴谋论的温床,尤其在福克斯新闻比其他电视台更早宣布拜登获胜之后。

霍布斯曾是掌管亚利桑那州2020年选举的州务卿。
而比格斯是2021年1月6日在国会内挑战2020年选举结果的议员之一,他因涉嫌参与计划在当天带领抗议者前往华盛顿、以及试图说服州官员称2020年选举被偷走,被现已解散的众议院1月6日特别委员会传唤,其名字也频繁出现在该委员会的最终报告中。
比格斯还拒绝承认霍布斯在2022年州长选举中获胜。
亚利桑那州长期以来被视为共和党基本盘的红州,但如今已逐渐变为更摇摆的紫色州。该州在2016年投票支持特朗普,2020年支持拜登,2024年再次支持特朗普。该州的两名参议员均为民主党人,但州议会参众两院由共和党控制。
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs wins reelection, defeating GOP election denier Andy Biggs
November 3, 2026 / 10:38 PM EST / CBS News
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs will win the governor’s race, CBS News projects, besting Rep. Andy Biggs, who was backed by President Trump and has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election.
Hobbs narrowly won the 2022 election by just 17,000 votes over Republican Kari Lake. Her race was considered to be one of the toughest for Democrats to win.
She faced one of the president’s top allies in Congress, and Mr. Trump, who won Arizona by five points in 2024, had gone to the state to campaign for him.
During her term, she has had to work with a GOP majority in both houses of the legislature, earning the nickname the “veto queen” from Republicans after she issued over 100 vetoes in her first year alone and 88 in a single day earlier this year.
On the trail, Hobbs has touted the bills that she has worked with Republicans on as her bipartisan credentials.
Biggs, meanwhile, is a former chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus and has represented Arizona’s 5th District near Mesa for five terms.
The 2020 election has continued to be a contentious issue in Arizona, where former President Joe Biden won with a margin of just 0.3%, or 16,000 votes. Mr. Trump repeatedly insisted he had won the state, and it became a hotbed of conspiracy theories, especially after Fox News projected Biden’s victory earlier than the other networks.

Hobbs was the secretary of state who administered Arizona’s 2020 election.
Biggs, meanwhile, was among the members of Congress who challenged the 2020 election results on Jan. 6, 2021. He was subpoenaed by the now-defunct House Jan. 6 select committee over his alleged involvement in plans to bring protesters to Washington on that day, as well as his efforts to convince state officials that the 2020 election had been stolen from Mr. Trump. His name appeared frequently in the final report.
Biggs has also refused to say whether Hobbs won the 2022 election for governor.
Arizona had long been considered a red state, but the state has become more purple. It voted for Mr. Trump in 2016, Biden in 2020 and then Mr. Trump in 2024. Both of the state’s senators are Democrats, but Republicans control both houses of the state legislature.
