Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) hit out against Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) just days after the latter announced his Senate bid to challenge the incumbent in 2024, arguing the Copper state could “use a break” from another contentious election cycle.
“Arizona just got through a brutal election season — I think we all could use a break,” Sinema said in a tweet. “As I did with infrastructure, tribal water security, drought relief, LGBTQ+ rights, Chips, and so much more, I’m going to keep making good on my promise to deliver real results for our state.”Gallego announced on Monday his intent to challenge Sinema for her Senate seat in Arizona, setting the stage for what is likely to be a high-stakes election in 2024.
Gallego has long hinted at challenging Sinema for her seat, telling CNN last year that a group of Democratic senators had approached him to run in 2024. His presence in the race could threaten to split the Democratic vote should Sinema run for reelection, giving Republicans a chance to pick up a key Senate seat as they vie to gain control of the upper chamber.
