Flake Will Face Carmona in Arizona

Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) handily won the Republican primary in the race to replace retiring Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), setting up a general-election race with former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona (D) that is expected to be much more competitive, the Arizona Republic reports.

“Some polls earlier in the summer indicated Carmona in a tight race with Flake and with a slight advantage in campaign funds headed into the general election.”
