Harris & Trump know they need Arizona's vote

Arizona being called for Joe Biden early on election night 2020
became the start of a movement: the state was officially a swing
state. Trump speaks to the state’s conservative roots. But
continuous election denialism and disinterest in John McCain-style
conservatism has some Arizonan Republicans questioning their
support.  When President Biden dropped out of the race this
July and Harris took over as the Democratic nominee, polls showed a
more competitive race in Arizona. Her stance on abortion and border
security aligns with a newer set of voters coming to the
polls.  But independent voters are now one of the largest
demographics for Arizona politics. So how are the two presidential
candidates vying for Arizona’s vote?  This week on The Gaggle,
a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and
azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo
Pitzl are joined by Republic reporter Stephanie Murray to
discuss the state of play in the presidential race in Arizona.
Later in the episode, Inside Politics' deputy editor Jacob
Rubashkin joins the hosts to analyze what Arizona’s role is in
the national picture.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
