Ruben Gallego (D) has Won the Open Senate Seat in Arizona, defeating Kari Lake (R).
The Seat was Vacated by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I), who was Elected as a Democrat but left the Party in late 2022, and finished Her Term as an Independent.
Gallego's Victory marks the Final Senate Race call of the 2024 Elections.
Including Iwo independents who Caucus with Democrats, Angus King, Jr. (ME) and Bernard Sanders (VT), Republicans will hold 53 Seats to Democrats 47, when the New Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3rd, 2025.
Gallego is making the jump to the Senate from the House, where He was first Elected in 2014. Gallego was a strong Fundraiser and ran Ads focused on His Personal Story and Military Service, but Not on His Progressive Voting record, representing a Safe Seat in Phoenix.
Lake, a former TV Anchor and Trump Acolyte, has now fallen short in Two Consecutive Rlections, after a narrow Defeat for the Governorship in 2022. Despite Arizona’s Status as a Battleground State and home to Close Races, Major National Republican Groups mostly stayed Out of the Race, while Gallego and National Democrats enjoyed a Massive Spending advantage.
