Becky Hobbs' full quotes:
"So, all across the country, Democrat candidates - not candidates themselves, but the party - was putting money in primaries into the races of the extreme Trump-endorsed candidates, as opposed to the moderate Republicans that were running because they wanted those extremists to win because they knew that the Dems had a better chance of winning their races against the extremist candidates than they did against the moderate Republicans."
AND:
"So, on election night, primary night, when we were at Katie's event on primary night and she didn't know the night of the election who her opponent was gonna be but Karrin Taylor Robson was up by ten points and it was kinda like it took the air out of the room and everyone knew that Katie had a better chance to win against Kari Lake. So, everyone wanted Kari Lake to be the nominee. So, it was kind of like this sigh of relief when Kari Lake actually ended up winning."

Journalist: "Because she's Trump-endorsed?"
Becky Hobbs: (Nodding) "Yeah."
Journalist: "So it would be easier for her to win"
Becky Hobbs: "Right."
