Arizona governor mysteriously steps down for one day
Fox News
Arizona's Governor Katie Hobbs mysteriously stepped down for less than 24-hours on Wednesday night- leaving Treasurer Kimberly Yee as acting governor.
The Republican state treasurer noted that during her less than 24-hours as acting governor she would refrain from confirming the thirteen agencies that still hold vacancies and wait for the Democratic Governor to fill them upon her return.

"While I am pleased to step in this role, I will refrain from naming directors to the 13 agencies that currently have vacancies and will not call the Arizona Legislature into session to confirm them," Yee said in an X post. "That being said, I do hope when the Governor returns to Arizona, she will promptly name qualified directors to these important state agencies."
