According to the Associated Press, Democrats won control of both chambers of the Arizona Legislature and kept the governor’s office, the party’s first trifecta in the state since 1966. The AP called enough legislative races to confirm both flips, and KJZZ reported that Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs won a second term. The results came as Democrats also took control of both chambers of Congress. Republicans had held a 33-27 House majority and a 17-13 Senate margin, KTAR reported. The AP also reported that Hobbs vetoed more than 540 bills passed by the Republican-led Legislature in her first term.
