Citing “the growing importance of abortion rights and campaign finance,” the latter referring specifically to Dem Congressman Ruben Gallego’s $9.6 million to $2.5 million cash advantage over batshit MAGA maniac Kari Lake, Sabato’s Crystal Ball have moved their rating for the seat currently occupied by lame duck “independent” Kyrsten Sinema from “toss-up” to “Leans Democratic.”
The election egghead team also moved 6th District “moderate” GOP Congressman Juan Ciscomani’s race left from “Leans Republican” to “toss-up” given the abortion shitshow in the state, making it now the second GOP seat in Arizona up for grabs, along with AZ-01. They did not however move the state’s 11 electoral college votes, which remain rated as a “toss-up” between Biden and Trump.
Lake summed up the state of the race at a recent campaign event with “The next six months is going to be intense. And we need to strap on our – let’s see. What do we want to strap on? We’re going to strap on our, our seat belt. We’re going to put on our helmet or your Kari Lake ball cap. We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case.”
