Elvia Díaz: Arizona voters' rejection of election deniers mean the Trump era is ending

The Show regularly checks in with the Republic’s editorial board to talk about current issues facing the state and the region — featured in columns on the newspaper’s op-ed pages.

As the aftershocks of this year’s midterm elections have played out over the last several weeks, one thing has become clear: Arizona voters — along with those across the country — largely rejected the majority of candidates backed by former President Donald Trump, particularly those that ran on his brand of election denialism surrounding the 2020 count.

The editorial board of the Arizona Republic has been reflecting on all of this and what it means in recent days.

The Show spoke with editorial page editor Elvia Díaz to learn their takeaways.
