Ruben Gallego has won the Democratic Party nomination for Arizona's open Senate seat, unofficial results from the Arizona State Government show.

Gallego, who faced little opposition from his own party, will now campaign for a seat that was previously blue. The incumbent, Kyrsten Sinema, was elected as a Democrat in 2018, but became an independent in December 2022. Sinema announced in March that she will not be running for re-election.

For the second time in as many years, Kari Lake's name will appear on the Arizona ballot, as she wins the Republican nomination for Arizona's open Senate seat.

Lake, who ran to succeed Republican Doug Ducey as Arizona's governor in 2022 and lost, defeated Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb and other GOP candidates for the nomination.

While major news organizations are projecting Lake to win, Lamb has yet to concede.

Lake and Gallego will go head-to-head in November.

    the sheer presistence of video filter granny Kari Lake is remarkable... Arizona is amongst the top five of controversial states with regards to elections, let's hope the MAGA fascists don't win.
  • She's right about the fight between good and evil. She is just confused about which is which.
  • @estee7541
    Ruben you are out without a doubt 🎉
  • @omegaprime07
    So she will be a 3 time loser and say it's rigged watch.
  • @drdoodlittle365
    If YouTube has anything to say about it Lake will for sure lose. the amount of pro Gallego and anti Lake ads I've been seeing and subsequently skipping has ramped up in the past month or so
  • @ablindman3328
    Wonder if this one will be stolen last minute like last time.
  • @bfgair1
    Very sad electing a TV star over someone that really understands our problems😢😢😢
  • I'm amazed that Lake got a single vote. What is the matter with people?
  • @joansmit5782
    OMG…Lake? How dumb can voters be? Oh, yeah…GQP. Enough said.
