The End of Title 42: Governor Katie Hobbs (D-AZ)

The state of Arizona is anticipating an influx of migrants seeking aslyum at the U.S. southern border following the expiration of Title 42 on Thursday, May 11. Just days prior to the end of the Trump-era public health restrictions, Major sat down with Arizona Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs to discuss her plans for addressing the fallout. Hobbs says, "there's a lot of frustration across the board that Washington isn't doing enough and taking this seriously enough."

Asked whether she's "excited" about a Biden reelection campaign, the Democratic governor made it clear she's not yet ready to weigh in on the 2024 presidential election.

And for our Arizona listeners, yes, we talked tamales. Hobbs recently vetoed a bill that would have expanded the law allowing street vendors to sell perishable homemade goods like the traditional corn-based Mexican dish.

This conversation was recorded on May 5, 2023 at the McCain Institute's 10th Annual Sedona Forum in Sedona, Arizona.
