Republican Kari Lake faced off against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego on Wednesday in a highly anticipated debate as they vie for a seat in the U.S. Senate representing Arizona. The debate, marked by sharp exchanges, was specially important for Lake, as she trails Gallego by 12 percentage points according to a survey by SoCal Strategies.
The forecast for the presidential election in the state, in the meantime, looks very different, as Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris by 1.3 percentage points, getting 48.1% of the support compared to Harris' 46.8%, according to FiveThirtyEight's polling average.
