In Arizona, GOP Senate candidate Kari Lake criticized her opponent, Rep. Ruben Gallego, for his past comments about Trump voters, labeling them as 'dumb' and 'the worst people in the world.' Lake accused Gallego of misrepresenting himself as a moderate while having a record of supporting policies that she deems radical, such as funding sanctuary cities and opposing border security. She also claimed that Gallego's campaign has been heavily funded, yet the race remains competitive, indicating a shift in voter sentiment. Lake expressed confidence in gaining support from independents, emphasizing that voters are more concerned about issues like the economy rather than abortion, which she believes has not resonated with the electorate.
