Former Democrat and now Independent Senator Krysten Sinema’s seat will be up for grabs, which would be a golden opportunity for Republicans.
Politico reports two Republicans may be vying for it. The GOP’s problem is that both lost their election bids last year.
Republican Kari Lake has not publicly thrown her hat in the ring. However, after her unsuccessful run for Arizona governor against Kari Hobbs, she is facing legal challenges alleging that she falsely claimed the election was stolen. A person close to her suggests Lake’s decision on the upcoming election would be made known once the legal suit is resolved.

According to Fox News, the GOP’s #2 leader in the Senate, John Thune, said, “Any candidate in ‘24 that has, as their principal campaign theme, a stolen election, is probably going to have the same issues that some of the ‘22 candidates had. I don’t think that’s where the American public is. It’s a swing state – we need a good Republican nominee. You know, whoever gets in, I hope they focus on the future, not the past.”

Blake Masters, a Republican running for Senate in 2022, lost by only 5 percentage points. He has been inquiring about the 2024 contest, with some Republicans convinced he is setting himself up for another run. According to Politico, that’s not exactly true, as a person familiar with his actions says he is undecided at present and “just testing the waters.”

The state of Arizona would be a good test of the GOP’s future in Arizona. For years, it was more conservative and liberal but has begun drifting to the left, with three straight Senate races going to the Democrats.
WILL BIDEN’S DEBATE DEMANDS TURN THE TIDE OR DROWN HIS CHANCES?
That’s concerning for an Arizona-based Republican strategist. Barrett Marson said, “Look at what happened in the last two elections. You in no way have to guess what happens when MAGA candidates ignore bread-and-butter issues that Arizonians care about.”

Marson continued, “Kari Lake is not the governor. Blake Masters is not a senator. Republicans have to get back to basics.”
Getting back to basics may mean someone like former Arizona Governor Doug Ducey stepping up to the plate. The two-term gubernatorial candidate is a favorite as a traditional Republican even though he declined to run for Senator Mark Kelly’s seat.
According to Politico, Thune said, “He’s made it pretty clear he’s not interested, but he’d be a great option.”
