Ep. 347 Katie Hobbs Won’t Face Andy Biggs

Katie Hobbs has officially ruled out debating Andy Biggs. Chris Clements and Sean Noble examine what the governor may be trying to avoid, Biggs’ selection of former Arizona State Senator Sine Kerr as his running mate and why refusing to debate could create problems for both halves of the Democratic ticket.

They also discuss Attorney General Kris Mayes’ continuing effort to question Hobbs as part of an ongoing criminal investigation and the payment and funding arrangement at the center of it.

The conversation then turns to the Democratic Socialists of America’s stated agenda, including calls to abolish the Senate, dramatically restructure the presidency and Supreme Court, eliminate ICE and place major corporations under public ownership. With Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens battling for Michigan’s Democratic Senate nomination, the result could help determine both the direction of the Democratic Party and control of the United States Senate.

Plus, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confronts CNN over the media’s pandemic coverage, Senator John Fetterman admits that partisanship influenced his early rejection of the COVID lab-leak theory, and the allegations surrounding Congressman Max Miller place a Republican-held House seat in jeopardy.
