"Democrat Ruben Gallego has been elected Arizona's first Latino U.S. senator, with a margin of more than 70,000 votes, marking a significant political shift in the state."
"For those who don't know me, my name is Ruben Gallego. I am a husband, a marine, a father, and a proud Arizonan... your next senator from Arizona," said Gallego during his victory speech.
Conservative commentator Meghan McCain celebrated Lake's projected defeat with a humorous social media post, indicating a broader political commentary on the election outcome.
With 95% of the vote counted, Gallego received over 1.6 million votes or around 50%, compared to Lake’s 1.5 million votes at approximately 47.8%.
