Kari Lake and Ruben Gallego let rip with fiery criticisms ahead of their Arizona Senate debate

Arizona starts its first day of early voting Wednesday and ends it with a pivotal moment in its battleground Senate race, as Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Ruben Gallego face off in their first and only debate.

PHOENIX — Arizona starts its first day of early voting Wednesday and ends it with a pivotal moment in its battleground Senate race, as Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Ruben Gallego are set to face off in their first and only debate for the seat left open by retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema.

Like the presidential contest, the Senate race offers deep contrasts in a state that’s been divided neatly in half for years. And despite the uncertainty in the close race for the White House, both Senate candidates are more than happy to associate themselves with the top of their ticket.

Gallego, a veteran, son of immigrants and five-term member of the House, is challenging Lake, a pro-Trump former newscaster who narrowly lost the 2022 governor's race to Democrat Katie Hobbs. 

In an interview with NBC News after a Sunday night town hall with veterans in Scottsdale, Gallego said it helps sharing the ticket with someone like Vice President Kamala Harris rather than President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the race in July.

“It is, honestly, night and day, in terms of what I’m hearing from people,” Gallego said on how Harris is perceived compared to Biden.
