Arizona makes history: See who just took Senate seat from Republicans
Democratic candidate wins groundbreaking Senate race in once-Republican stronghold. Arizona voters pick their first-ever Latino senator‚ marking big shift in stateʼs political landscape
In a ground-breaking win Ruben Gallego secured his spot as Arizonas first-ever Latino senator – defeating GOP candidate Kari Lake in a close-fought race (which shows how much the states politics have changed)
The election marks another win for Democrats in a state that used to be a sure-thing for Republicans; since about 8 years ago the Grand Canyon State has been moving away from its deep-red roots. Political experts say this shift started around the time when Donald Trump first got into the White House: voters here have consistently said no to candidates he backs
The states political make-up has gone thru big changes lately – while it was once a reliable red state for Senate seats its now becoming a place where Democrats can win. This trend continues even tho the president-elect managed to grab Arizonaʼs electoral votes from Kamala Harris this time round
