Kari Lake, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, won the Republican Senate primary in Arizona, setting up a pivotal matchup against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego. The race in battleground Arizona will play a key role in partisan control of the Senate this fall. Lake, known for promoting Trump’s false claims about the 2020 election, heavily touts his endorsement in her campaign. Gallego, a Marine veteran, emphasizes his ability to work across the aisle and has a considerable cash advantage over Lake. The general election will determine who will succeed independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. In addition, notable House primaries took place in Arizona, with freshman GOP Rep. Juan Ciscomani fending off a primary challenger and setting up a rematch with former state Sen. Kirsten Engel, a Democrat, in a closely watched race in the swing 6th District. The outcome of these races will have significant implications for both Arizona and national politics.
