This marks her second major electoral defeat after her unsuccessful run for governor in 2022.

The Arizona Supreme Court also recently rejected her lawsuit to overturn the 2022 gubernatorial election results.
Gallego's victory solidifies Democratic control in the state’s Senate seat.

Glad to see Arizona rejecting far-right extremism and choosing someone who will actually fight for working people!
It’s great to see Arizona voters shutting down Kari Lake’s extreme rhetoric once again! Ruben Gallego's win is a big step in keeping Arizona moving forward with progressive policies.

Well, it’s great to see Arizona moving in a more progressive direction with Ruben Gallego’s win! Kari Lake’s extremism just doesn’t resonate with the majority of voters, and this is another sign that people are tired of election denial and divisive politics. Hopefully, this victory means more focus on real issues like healthcare, climate, and economic justice.
Maybe this will push both parties to focus more on policies that actually appeal to a broader range of voters instead of just doubling down on partisan extremes.
Another election where voters are forced to pick between two big government candidates — and we wonder why nothing changes.
