Though the final midterm election results for Arizona still are not in, the gubernatorial battle between Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Katie Hobbs is tight while the U.S. Senate race between Republican Blake Masters and incumbent Democrat Mark Kelly is still fairly close.
Numerous Republican senators, including Josh Hawley (MO), Marco Rubio (FL), Mike Lee (UT), Ron Johnson (WI), Ted Cruz (TX), and others have raised the alarm that Mitch McConnell's time in Senate leadership may be coming to a close.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said Friday he believes the Senate leadership vote should be postponed until the candidates for the position are vetted for “genuine [commitment] to fighting for the priorities & values of the working Americans.”
