The race became more fierce after Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) announced she would not run for reelection, solidifying the race as a head-to-head contest between Lake and Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).<\/p>\n<p>Polling shows a tight contest between the two, but the most recent surveys indicate Gallego has an edge over Lake in the critical swing state. Gallego leads Lake by 8 percentage points, 36% to 28%, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rabaresearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/RABA-Arizona-Survey.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>recent poll by RABA Research<\/a>.

Of these, Democrats must defend 23, compared to just 11 for Republicans \u2014 and nearly all competitive seats are held by Democrats, putting them on the defensive as they try to maintain their slim majority.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats hold a 51-49 majority in the Senate, with the advantage of having Vice President Kamala Harris as a tiebreaker vote if needed. As a result, Republicans only need to flip one Senate seat to win the majority should they win back the White House in 2024. If they don\u2019t regain the Oval Office, they need to secure two extra Senate seats.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arizona Senate hopeful Kari Lake secured $1 million at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser hosted by ex-President Donald Trump.
