Ruben Gallego Secures Arizona Senate Victory Over Kari Lake

Ruben Gallego, a Democratic U.S. Representative from Arizona, is projected to win the Arizona U.S. Senate seat, defeating Republican Kari Lake. This closely watched race was crucial for Democrats to maintain their slim majority in the Senate, especially as Arizona remains a key battleground state. Gallego, a Marine veteran, received endorsements from several Republicans and the Arizona Police Association, while Lake, a Trump supporter, focused on border security and energy policies. The outcome of this race will impact the Senate's balance of power in 2025.
