Elections in Arizona |
---|
The 2024 United States Senate election in Arizona will be held on November 5, 2024. Primary elections will take place on July 30, 2024. [1]
Incumbent first-term independent Senator Kyrsten Sinema was first elected as a Democrat in 2018 with roughly 50% of the vote, succeeding retiring Republican Senator Jeff Flake. Sinema left the Democratic Party in December 2022 and filed paperwork to run for reelection as an independent in April 2023. [2] However, in March 2024, Sinema announced that she would not run for a second term. [3] U.S. Representative Ruben Gallego is seeking the Democratic nomination, while Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb and 2022 Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake are running for the Republican nomination.
The race is considered to be a tossup given the state's nearly even partisan lean; however, most polls show Gallego to be the favorite to win. [4] [5] Arizona was once considered a Republican stronghold, but has become a swing state. [6] [7] Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won Arizona by 3.5% in 2016, [8] while Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden prevailed by 0.3% in 2020. [9]

Prior to her departure from the Democratic Party, Sinema was considered highly vulnerable to a primary challenge due to her opposition to several parts of the Democratic Party's legislative agenda. Prospective polling showed Sinema trailing all of her potential challengers by wide margins, with U.S. Representative Ruben Gallego being viewed by numerous political analysts as the frontrunner to challenge her. [14] On January 22, 2022, the Arizona Democratic Party voted overwhelmingly to censure Sinema for a second time for voting against a carve-out to the Senate filibuster rule in a Democratic-led effort to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. [15] Sinema did not support the Inflation Reduction Act until after Democratic leaders agreed to remove a provision closing the so-called carried interest tax loophole, the closure of which would have raised taxes on hedge fund owners and investment managers. [16] This action renewed calls from Democrats for Sinema to face a primary opponent in her next election. [17]
Sinema left the Democratic Party in December 2022 and registered as an independent. [2]
