Mark Kelly was sworn in as Arizona's second Democratic senator Wednesday afternoon, shaving the Republican’s majority by one vote for the final weeks of the lame-duck session and marking the first time the state has had two Democrats in the Senate in 67 years.
On the Senate floor, Kelly was escorted to the dais by fellow Arizona Democrat Sen. Kyrsten Sinema where Vice President Mike Pence, as Senate president, delivered the oath of office. All three kept their masks on for the entirety of the swearing-in as Kelly stood six feet back from the vice president with his hand on a Bible.
When the vice president said, "Congratulations," Kelly was met with applause from members on both sides of the aisle. There were roughly a dozen Republicans in the chamber at the time, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who shared an elbow bump with Kelly, as did Pence.

i haven’t seen that damn phrase “lame duck” more in my Entire Lift than in the past few weeks.
Other things can make people lame.
They should shut up while they’re ahead

It looked to me like Sinema’s election was rigged too.
Repubs don’t fight.

As long as Trump stays in the fight there is going to be a major day of reckoning for the establishment republicrats.

Good news, if any, is that this term is for only remaining 2 years.

Ducey conspires with them. They stole both seats. The fraud is massive...Not much reason to vote here if they can pretend to elect a primo gun grabber.

Bad news is that Arizona will never have another free and fair election again, especially when the Red Chinese puppet Plugs the Pedo is installed.
