Republican Kari Lake’s victory in Tuesday’s Arizona Senate primary sets up a widely expected must-watch matchup in the battle for control in the 119th Congress.
But in a trio of key House races, the picture was far less clear.
Lake’s team quickly circulated a strategy memo contending that she is actually better positioned in her race against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego than most other Republicans seeking to switch control of Senate seats. Sen. Krysten Sinema, an independent who is not seeking reeelection, was elected as a Democrat.
