The ban would be walked back once the average dropped to below 1,500 apprehensions daily for at least two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>However, Republicans have criticized the plan as being too little, too late and accused the Biden administration of intentionally opening the border to cause a crisis. Now, several GOP candidates, including Lake, are hoping to tie their opponents to Biden\u2019s unpopular policies ahead of the November election. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cArizonans are being crushed by the invasion at our border. Our hospitals are going bankrupt, housing is unaffordable, wages are going down as inflation rises, and crime is rampant,\u201d a spokesperson for Lake said. \u201cRadical Ruben Gallego supports mass amnesty allowing illegals to vote, all while he refuses to secure our border.

Gallego also pointed to his support for the border deal that was proposed in the Senate last year but tanked after former President Donald Trump came out against it.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the Gallego campaign accused Lake of misconstruing his voting record on the border, citing other ads that have been deemed \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/streaklinks.com\/B_iMzmCCQs_4ChKZ2w1MyBjz\/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.factcheck.org%2F2024%2F05%2Flake-ad-makes-misleading-claim-about-gallego-and-noncitizen-voting%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">misleading<\/a>\u201d and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/streaklinks.com\/B_iMzlpc3BAfD2hOFgDMge_1\/https%3A%2F%2Famericanjournalnews.com%2Frepublican-kari-lake-attacks-democratic-opponent-with-deceitful-inaccurate-ad%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">deceitful<\/a>\u201d by some fact-checking organizations. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cKari Lake is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/op-ed-durham-made-1-big-mistake-its-time-for-we-the-people-to-demand-accountability\/\" title=\"Durham's Big Mistake: We Must Demand Accountability Now.\">power-hungry liar<\/a> who will do or say anything to gain power \u2013 even join national Republicans in launching desperate, false attacks on Ruben\u2019s record,\u201d Hannah Goss, a spokeswoman for Gallego\u2019s campaign, said.\u00a0\u201cRuben is laser-focused on bringing people together to address the border crisis\u00a0 \u2014 even when it means pushing back on his own party to stand up for Arizonans \u2014 which is exactly why he will defeat Kari Lake this November.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The latest ad comes as the race between Lake and Gallego has shaped up to be one of the most competitive Senate elections in the 2024 cycle and could determine which party wins control of the upper chamber next year. <\/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 currently leads Lake 45% to 41%, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/05\/13\/us\/politics\/democrats-senate-battleground-poll.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&#038;referringSource=articleShare&#038;sgrp=c-cb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>according to the most recent survey<\/a> by the <em>New York Times<\/em>, the <em>Philadelphia Inquirer<\/em>, and Siena College.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sabato\u2019s Crystal Ball<\/em> shifted the race last month from being deemed a toss-up to leaning Democratic, giving Gallego a slight edge over Lake. That shift came after the Arizona Supreme Court upheld a near-total abortion ban in the state, prompting pushback from even some Republicans, including Lake and Trump. <\/p>\n<p>However, Lake\u2019s allies have pointed to Trump\u2019s polling in Arizona against Biden as a good sign for her campaign. Lake has closely aligned herself with the former president, who leads Biden 49% to 42% in the swing state, according to the poll. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There are 34 Senate seats up for grabs in the 2024 election cycle. 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>In an exclusive move, Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake unveils a fresh attack ad aimed at Rep.
