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.
Id much have her in a position where she will inevitablely fuck up and be fired (his turnover ratio is insane for a Stable Genius) over a 6 year appointment.
That’s a good point, although they don’t all fuck up and get fired.
On the other hand, a cabinet-level position has far more power than a single senator.
They don’t all fuck up but this one is fucking Kari lake. It’s all but guaranteed
