Can Ruben Gallego Lead Democrats Out?

Freshman Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) “was a rare bright spot for Democrats in an otherwise bleak 2024. In a year when Donald Trump won all seven battleground states and Democrats lost three Senate seats, Gallego defeated Republican Kari Lake in Arizona by 2.4 points—despite Trump carrying the state by 5.5 points in the presidential race,” The Dispatch reports.

“It’s little wonder, then, that Gallego’s name is routinely tossed around as a plausible 2028 presidential candidate.”
