Ruben Gallego Triumphs Over Kari Lake in Arizona Senate Race

Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego is projected to win the Arizona Senate seat, defeating Republican Kari Lake, and becoming the state's first Latino senator. Gallego will replace retiring independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and join the GOP-controlled Senate in January. His victory is significant for Democrats, who recently lost the presidency and Senate majority. The race focused on issues like the economy, immigration, and abortion rights. Gallego, a former Marine and congressman, emphasized bipartisan cooperation and addressing Arizona's needs.
