The state of Arizona is going through a pendulum swing to the left. Having been a Republican hub that’s produced the likes of senators like Barry Goldwater and John McCain, both of whom won their party’s presidential nomination during their respective careers, Arizona elected its first Democratic senator since 1988 in Kyrsten Sinema, when she defeated then-Congresswoman Martha McSally in 2018. Following the death of McCain, however, McSally was appointed to finish out his term and faces a tough opponent in former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly in the 2020 special election.
