An Open Seat Battle In Arizona

April 11, 2024 · 2:51 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Just for members: The latest edition of Inside Elections.

This issue includes a deep dive into one of the most important Senate races on the map: Arizona.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-AZ) exit makes the race more conventional between Ruben Gallego (D) and Kari Lake (R), but the Arizona Supreme Court’s abortion decision fanned the flames of an already hot race in the desert.

The edition also includes a fresh look at the important Democratic Senate primary in Maryland, analysis of how strongly President Biden’s mediocre job rating correlates to his November performance, and a spotlight on Michigan — the first in our series of presidential battleground profiles.
