Arizona Senate Race Heats Up: Lake and Gallego Vie for Moderate Voters

As both candidates attempt to soften their political images, fundraising and national endorsements play a crucial role in the closely watched contest.

Kari Lake criticizes Ruben Gallego's campaign finance and predicts he will avoid debates, focusing instead on misleading advertising.
Lake and Gallego are both attempting to appeal to moderate voters in Arizona, with Lake moving away from hardline stances and Gallego dialing down his progressive rhetoric.
Gallego announces a significant fundraising advantage over Lake, raising $7.5 million in the first quarter of the year.
National Republican figures, including former President Donald Trump, endorse Lake, emphasizing the importance of the Arizona Senate race for GOP control of the chamber.
Both candidates face challenges in rebranding themselves to a broader electorate, with Lake's past election denial claims and Gallego's progressive record being potential obstacles.
