Four days after Election Day 2024, a winner has finally been projected in the Arizona senate race. Democrat Ruben Gallego narrowly defeated Republican Kari Lake, according to Decision Desk HQ, and will fill the seat currently held by Independent Kyrsten Sinema.
The race was tight. As of 10:35 p.m. on Saturday night, with 88% of precincts reporting, Gallego had 49.7% of the vote, compared to Lake's 48.2%. Independent Eduardo Quintana, who is a member of the Green Party, earned 2.1%.

Gallego is currently the representative for Arizona's 3rd District, a seat he's held since 2015. Before that, he was a member of the Arizona House of Representatives and he served in the Marines. He attended Harvard University.
Lake stepped down from her career as a news anchor to run for governor of Arizona in 2022. Endorsed by President Trump, she became the Republican nominee but lost the race to Katie Hobbs in another narrow defeat. Hobbs earned 50.32% of the vote, while Lake earned 49.65%.
While this is a very small win for Democrats, it won't impact the Republicans' stronghold on the Senate. The GOP gained four seats this year, creating a 53 to 46 victory. The new Republican senators include Bernie Moreno of Ohio, Jim Banks of Indiana, John Curtis of Utah, and Jim Justice of West Virginia.

The race has NOT!!! been “decided”.
It has only been “called”.
gotcha; do you follow Charlie Kirk on twitter by any chance ( I don’t have an account). I want to see what he says about this most recent 104k dump , taking Lake from 33k deficit to 45 k deficit with 400 K + votes yet, including not sure how many of the targeted ballots that Kirk is tracking.
I don’t believe it. Cheating had to happen.
Three cheers in Mitch land. He was able to sink 50 million in Larry Hogan’s campaign while starving Hovde, Lake and Brown. Rather lose than have those MAGA people be interlopers in his Quisling payola club.
Trumps DOJ should open a criminal investigation into Maracopa County.
>> do you follow Charlie Kirk on twitter by any chance ( I don’t have an account)
Sorry, no; I don’t have an X account either.
>> The race has NOT!!! been “decided”.
Exactly.
>> Trumps DOJ should open a criminal investigation into Maracopa County.
Maricopa F______ County should be nuked from space. Corrupt worthless bastards, all of them.
FUMM
There will be a recount in AZ and Nevada and should be, possibly PA.
Is Arizona still part of the Republic? Or is it now owned by the cartels, Mexico and/or the globalists?
Much the same for New Mexico... We may be in danger of losing the whole west coast to foreign interests.
The harsh trust is that the GOP has a hard time winning close Senate races. This has been the case for three cycles now. I don’t know why, but some strategic element has to change. Trump wins in a near-landslide and all we can do in the Senate is flip two easy seats in deep red states, and win a SINGLE close race otherwise? Not trying to be a doomer, just incredibly annoyed.
His DOJ should open an investigation into Mitch McConnell.
Cartels for decades. Synema was funded by them. I read she may be getting a top university position as she leaves office. They keep shuffling around the poster children for their agenda to keep influencing all normals of life to be “fundamentally changed”.
From the article:
“
The GOP gained four seats this year, creating a 53 to 46 victory.
“
Where’s the 100th senator, what candidates?
So let me get this straight..trump won Arizona easily but the same people who voted for him said nah on Kari lake even though he endorsed her yeah sureeeee
That would certainly help to explain the Maricopa County enigma. https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4273931/posts?page=3763#3763.
