Republican Kari Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) are projected to face each other in November in one of the most hotly contested Congressional races this year, as both parties consider it critical to gain control of the Senate. But how close will this race be, according to the latst polls?
Gallego and Lake both won their spot on the ballots on Tuesday in a slate of primary elections in Arizona. Lake— a former television anchor who previously ran for governor in 2022 and lost— defeated Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb and Elizabeth Reye, a neuroscientist who positioned herself as a "Reagan Republican." Gallego, on the other hand, ran uncontested in the Democratic primary.
