TL/DR –
Former news reader and failed Arizona governor candidate Kari Lake is running for the U.S. Senate and has received an endorsement from Donald Trump. Her opponent, Ruben Gallego, has been actively soliciting funds and challenging Lake’s views and plans. The article emphasizes the mature behavior of Kyrsten Sinema, an active politician in Washington, who is notably handling her duties without engaging in public bickering, focusing on supporting her constituents and handling issues like the violence in Israel.
Kari Lake: Trump’s Enthusiastic Senate Candidate
Former news reader and failed Arizona governor candidate, Kari Lake, joyfully continues her role as Donald Trump’s close associate while she runs for the U.S. Senate. Her campaign began excitedly with Trump’s endorsement, ensuring her grievance-based tirades will continue to mirror those of her sole constituent, should she reach Washington, D.C.
Democratic Opponent Ruben Gallego Responds
Ruben Gallego, Lake’s Democratic opponent, is actively fundraising and challenging her. He used X (formerly Twitter) to announce Lake’s candidacy, urgently requesting support to combat the MAGA-right, and directly messaged Lake criticizing her plans to ban abortion, undermine democracy, and her threats of violence.
Adults in Washington: Kyrsten Sinema
While these two candidates squabble, Kyrsten Sinema, an adult in Washington, is doing the job that both Lake and Gallego aspire to. Regardless of her uncertain future, she is currently doing what Arizona voters sent her to do.
World Crisis: Sinema’s Response
Sinema responded maturely to the Hamas terrorists’ attack on Israel, unlike other politicians who rushed to the nearest microphone to condemn the onslaught. She offered her support for Israel in a two-sentence statement, and has since used her social media accounts to offer assistance to Arizonans, encouraging them to contact her office and enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP).
Importance of Doing the Boring Stuff
Sinema has not sought attention or engaged in petty squabbles. Instead, she has focused on supporting Israel, helping constituents, and securing funds to upgrade water infrastructure in Safford and La Paz County. She even wished the U.S. Naval Academy a happy 178th birthday on Twitter, showcasing her commitment to less flashy but important senatorial duties.
