Republicans say Arizona's 2020 disaster is a lesson learned: ’Things are definitely different’

As former President Donald Trump‘s campaign kicks off the dust of the Ronna McDaniel days at the Republican National Committee, it is embracing a different strategy to avoid the disaster that the GOP suffered in Arizona four years ago. From developing relationships with conservative grassroots groups to embracing Demcorats’ early ballots initiatives, Republicans are racing to cement a win in the Grand Canyon State this November that is “too big to rig.”

“Team Trump is in full force on the ground in Arizona,” Arizona GOP Chairwoman Gina Swoboda told the Washington Examiner. Her words in July came after criticism the party faced earlier this year for Arizona’s sluggish start to the 2024 election cycle.
