Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego will become first Latino to represent Arizona in the Senate after beating Trump-ally and former TV anchor Kari Lake in one of the most closely watched contests across the country.

With almost 95% of the votes tallied, the Democratic candidate took 50% of the support compared to Lake's almost 48%, with AP projecting him as the winner of the race.
