Axios:

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes signaled that she may drop her prosecution against the so-called “fake electors” who submitted votes falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the state in 2020 — a case she initially said she brought because she would “not allow American democracy to be undermined.”

Why it matters: Mayes has repeatedly said the case is essential to upholding the rule of law — but it’s dragged on for years and now threatens to become a political problem as she ramps up for reelection.

What they’re saying: Mayes didn’t directly answer 12 News political reporter Brahm Resnik when he asked about her plans for the case, but said her office is “still assessing that” during an episode of “Sunday Square Off” taped last Friday.

“The one thing I do know for sure… is that I am so proud of the prosecutors and the investigators in the Attorney General’s Office, and I’m proud of the work we did on this case,” she said, adding, “I certainly don’t want to give it up. It is certainly not something that I want to do.”

A Democratic and Republican consultant who witnessed the interview told Resnik that Mayes’ comments sounded like she intended to drop the case.
