Ruben Gallego Makes History as Arizona's First Latino Senator

Democrat Ruben Gallego has been elected as Arizona's first Latino senator, defeating Republican Kari Lake in a key swing state. Gallego, who will replace retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, shifted from his progressive roots to a more moderate stance, gaining support from various groups including a major police union. Despite Lake's attempts to align with Trump and criticize Gallego's past, she struggled to gain traction among Republicans and independents. Gallego's campaign focused on issues like border security and veterans' mental health, while maintaining strong fundraising efforts.
