Great news for Democratic Senate candidate Ruben Gallego, bad news for Kari Lake
Mired in a distant third place in 2024 polling, everybody’s least favorite Senator Kyrsten Sinema made it official this week: she won’t bother running for reelection. This makes for a two way race between Democratic candidate Ruben Gallego and Republican lunatic Kari Lake.
The good news for Ruben Gallego is that all along he’s had a small lead in both two-way and three-way polling. The better news for Gallego is that in the first 24 hours since Sinema cut and ran, Gallego raised more than a million dollars from more then 24,000 different people.
We’ve all been sort of waiting for Sinema to get out of the way so the 2024 Senate race in Arizona could begin. Now that she has, it’s clear that Ruben Gallego is off to the races. But keep in mind that statewide races in Arizona have a way of being close no matter how bad the Republican candidate is. Gallego is going to continue to need our support. Let’s make sure we keep giving it to him.
