Ruben Gallego Defeats Kari Lake in Arizona Senate Race

Democrat Ruben Gallego is projected to win Arizona's U.S. Senate race, defeating Republican Kari Lake. Gallego, who will replace independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, led by over 72,000 votes. His campaign focused on his military service and personal story, while Lake emphasized border issues. The race was crucial for Senate control, with Republicans expected to gain both the House and Senate. Gallego's victory was supported by a significant lead among older Republican voters and the passage of Proposition 139, affirming abortion rights in Arizona.
