GOP and Gallego wins prove Arizona's purple in 2024 election

Leading up to the November election, pollsters across the nation
showed Arizona to be one of the most swingy of the swing states.
How Arizonans would vote in the presidential race and down-ballot
contests were the equivalent of a coin flip. But as results were
tallied over the past few days, it is clear now which party won
convincingly. It's not necessarily the red wave effect, though. All
of these races had the potential to go to Republicans or Democrats,
proving that Arizona is just right of center. One Arizona race that
moved against that tide was for the U.S. Senate. Late Monday night,
Democrat Ruben Gallego clinched a win over Republican Kari Lake.
This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona
Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron
Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl discuss how Gallego
prevailed over the red wall and what's next for both the
legislature and Kari Lake. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
