TL;DR Summary

Democrat Ruben Gallego has won the Arizona Senate race against Republican Kari Lake, marking a significant victory for Democrats in a key swing state. Gallego, an Iraq War veteran and US House Representative, becomes the first Latino to represent Arizona in the Senate, succeeding independent Kyrsten Sinema. His campaign focused on moderate policies, including addressing immigration and economic issues, while Lake, a Trump ally, faced criticism for her election denialism. This win provides some relief for Democrats as Republicans are set to take control of the Senate next year.
