The hosts of CNN’s new morning show on Wednesday repeatedly pressed Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs on why she has not debated her Republican rival, conspiracy theory-toting Kari Lake.
Ultimately, the Democratic secretary of state claimed in response, voters would not care enough about a debate when they head to the polls in less than a week.
CNN This Morning hosts Don Lemon, Poppy Harlow, and Kaitlan Collins all took turns asking Hobbs about her refusal to debate Lake, who is currently polling ahead of the Democratic nominee. Her initial response mirrored her past answers, including the argument that she does not want to give Lake a platform to cause an onstage spectacle.
