Hobbs holds narrow lead as Lake gains ground in Arizona's race for governor

Democrat Katie Hobbs expanded her lead in the governor's race over the weekend, but Republican Kari Lake gained some ground over the past couple nights.

The latest: The governor's race is still too close to call, with 160,021 votes left to count statewide, including 94,285 in Maricopa County.

Hobbs is up by 26,011 votes, a 50.5%-49.5% lead as of Sunday night.

Lake is losing Maricopa County 52%-48%, but started picking up votes there as election officials began counting early ballots that voters dropped off on Election Day, which were widely expected to favor Republicans.

Yes, but: Hobbs dominated in Pima County over the weekend, which helped offset Lake's gains in Maricopa County.

The intrigue: In a statement Sunday night, Hobbs' campaign said, "Katie has led since the first round of ballots were counted, and after tonight's results, it's clear this won't change."
