Democrat Ruben Gallego beats far-right Republican Kari Lake to win Arizona senate seat
Briefly

Democratic congressman Ruben Gallego has become the first Latino senator from Arizona, defeating Kari Lake and replacing Kyrsten Sinema after a competitive campaign.
Gallego consistently polled ahead of Lake during the campaign, showcasing an unlikely strength for a progressive candidate in a battleground state.
Despite campaigning as a centrist, Kyrsten Sinema's hesitance on party priorities hurt Democrats, paving the way for Gallego's successful bid.
Despite Trump's success in Arizona, the moderate Republicans and independents failed to rally behind Kari Lake, ultimately losing her the race.
