Gov @dougducey is coming up next on @CNNSotu.
. @dougducey calls @AZGOP censure 'an action of very little consequence.' https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2021/01/24/arizona-gop-reelects-kelli-ward-censures-cindy-mccain-jeff-flake-doug-ducey/6679473002/
'I worked incredibly hard to deliver the state for Donald Trump,' @dougducey says. 'Once all the ballots were certified in all 15 counties, the vote had been audited & determined to accurate, I had very little choice but to do the right thing: follow the law & the Constitution.'
Asked about any private convos he had with Trump after certifying Arizona's election results (given Trump's vitriol toward him) @dougducey says he's 'going to keep my conversations with the president in confidence' but 'those conversations were cordial.' https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/30/president-trump-slams-arizona-gov-ducey-after-election-certification/6472784002/
'I believe there were people in Arizona and people on the President's legal team that were getting misinformation back to him (about the election results),' @dougducey says. 'Of course, he's going to respond however he chooses to respond. But I report to the people of Arizona.'
Asked about Trump's role in Capitol riot, @dougducey repeats that 'he does bear some responsibility.'
'So do those that organized the rally, the Stop the Steal rally. So do those that financed the rally. So do those that were giving him misinformation.' https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2021/01/14/arizona-gov-doug-ducey-trump-bears-some-responsibility-riot/4159740001/

'Ultimately, I think (Trump's) legal team really failed on this front,' @dougducey says. 'But ultimately, the people that bear the responsibility are those that committed the violence and vandalism at the people's house.'
Asked about situation with Marjorie Taylor Greene and how to 'rid party' of destructive conspiracies such as those she's pushing, @dougducey says that 'what's happening is absolutely unacceptable, and Leader McCarthy will deal with it.' https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/01/30/marjorie-taylor-greene-republicans-face-quandary-over-her-remarks/4308620001/
But @dougducey says he doesn't think extremism is 'just on our side.'
'There have been extremes on both sides that have muddied the waters,' he says. 'Everything that happened at the Capitol ... has been denounced and condemned by me and my side.'

Re #COVID19, @dougducey now asked about AZ's low ranking for vaccine distribution.
'What we need right now are more vaccines,' he says. 'All we can do is distribute what we received from the federal gov & from the private sector, so we're working with the Biden administration.'
'What we need right now are more vaccines,' he says. 'All we can do is distribute what we received from the federal gov & from the private sector, so we're working with the Biden administration.'
'We've asked for 300k additional vaccines from the Biden administration, and we want to work with them,' @dougducey says. 'We have the capability to do 12k vaccines a day at the Phoenix municipal site. We can only schedule 500 because of the lack of inventory that we have.'
'You told The New York Times you're not going to run for the Senate. Are you definitely, definitively ruling it out?' @DanaBashCNN asks (once again.)
'I'm not running for the United States Senate,' @dougducey says.
And that's a wrap.
