Arizona was largely a Republican stronghold but that has changed in the Trump era, and Rep. Ruben Gallego hopes that he can continue making inroads for Democrats there this year by winning the state’s open Senate seat. “A lot of people are seeing the stakes of this election, realizing that there’s only really one way to go, and that’s to make sure that you don’t get people like Kari Lake and Donald Trump elected,” he tells Ali Velshi. He notes how Lake’s election lies and brash ways have caused “trauma” among people in the state and that Republicans have been playing a lot of political games. “They need the border problem for political reasons, but yet, our border communities are still hurting.”Oct. 20, 2024
