Summary

Democratic Congressman Ruben Gallego has won the Arizona Senate race, becoming the state’s first Latino senator and defeating far-right candidate Kari Lake.

Gallego will replace Kyrsten Sinema, a former Democrat turned independent who did not seek re-election.

Gallego’s lead in fundraising and consistent polling advantage helped secure his 50% to 48% victory. Lake struggled to attract moderate Republicans and independents, partly due to her past criticisms of John McCain.

This win gives Republicans a 52-47 Senate majority, as Democrats lost seats in West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Montana.

    (Honestly, i bet i depends if she gives him a blowjob or not. Yeah. i’m throwing up a little just writing that. Only advice i have is… don’t. Also. if you’re dealing overpoweringly awful smells; including rancid shit. Get some tiger balm, and lather that on your upper lip, just below your nose.) (don’t tell people that work with trump. they deserve that torture.)

      If she hasn’t already, considering how much he slobbers over her all the time, I’d be surprised.
