PHOENIX — Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is expected to win the Democratic nomination for Arizona governor after Tuesday's primary election.  The race was a showdown between Hobbs and Marco Lopez and the voters appear to have selected Hobbs as their pick to face off against the Republican nominee in November's general election. As of 8 p.m., Hobbs was ahead of Lopez by 170,000 votes, according to the Associated Press election results. The AP called the race in Hobbs' favor by 8:10 p.m. Hobbs was the favorite to win the election after having generated a significant amount of media attention following the 2020 election.
