The Arizona Constitution spells out that in the governor’s “absence from the state,” the next in line automatically assumes the powers and duties of the office.
Hobbs has been out of state since Sunday and was not set to return until Thursday morning.
Secretary of State Adrian Fontes was scheduled to leave Wednesday night. And Attorney General Kris Mayes also is gone.
She was out of state for a meeting and then when her lieutenant governor also had to leave the statement for a different meeting that past control down to the secretary of the treasury temporarily. She's back now.
You could be right, but no word from the governor's office providing reason for hiatus? And chain of command broken? And Happening while FJB is in town?
Turns out conservative news fucked us again by reporting this is something unusual. Turns out the reasons were known in advance and quite boring.

Excellent dig and could very well be. But I def dont trust AZ central as a reliable news source. Plus AZ doesnt have a Lt govnr. If FJB is visiting the state and every D is unexpectedly "missing" rather than doing photo opps to bask in whatever, seems bizzaro.
It is really strange since the other two in line didn't assume charge. Seems like the biggest hopium I've seen in recent years and it's not being hyped .
Why is this happening?
Hobbs stepped down temporarily without saying why, but it's almost certainly due to a medical procedure. Nothing will come of this.
But why 4th in command instead of the other 2? But you are probably right on the outcome.

Thanks. Good summary. Maybe they're off to a party or fundraiser.

c'mon back to the thread fren. Read at top. Something bigger has to be happening IMO. Chain of command broken and FJB is also coincidentally in town

You and me both fren. I'm high as a kite on hopium right now! There are way too many coincidences happening all at once in AZ at this very moment.
Brandon's in town and everyone leaves. You think they would want to grab a pizza together or something.
