Kari Lake won the Republican primary for U.S. Senate in Arizona, setting up a high-stakes contest in the fall for the seat of Senator Kyrsten Sinema, who is retiring.
Running in a border state, Ms. Lake accused Mr. Gallego of being a far-left radical and favoring loose restrictions on immigration, while Mr. Gallego has blasted Ms. Lake for her shifting stance on abortion rights and for continuing to make baseless claims of election fraud.
After her victory, Mr. Gallego assailed her again, saying in a statement that he welcomed Arizonans to join our team and help defeat Kari Lake and her dangerous plan to ban abortion and hurt Arizonans.
Both candidates face questions about their ability to pull in independent voters and moderates heading into November, though Mr. Gallego has maintained a consistent, if narrow, lead in most surveys of the race and has a sizable fund-raising advantage.
