Arizona Democrats Devolve Into Infighting

April 19, 2025 · 8:47 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Arizona’s Democratic Party is in a meltdown,” Politico reports.

“Bitter infighting among the state’s top Democrats, apparently building for weeks, spilled into public view on Saturday when the state party chair, Robert E. Branscomb II, sent a letter to members of Arizona’s state Democratic committee attacking Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego and airing private disagreements among them…”

“The back-and-forth between the leader of a state Democratic Party and the state’s top Democratic statewide elected officials marks an extraordinarily display of bickering in a critical swing state. It is potentially perilous for a Democratic operation in a place that Donald Trump flipped last year, and where Democrats in 2026 will be defending statewide offices including the governor’s.”
