There's nothing new about politicians shape-shifting and changing their public images. But voters in Arizona’s 2024 Senate race are already getting a particularly heavy dose of it, from both the Left and Right, in a contest key to deciding which party wins a majority in the chamber.

Sinema still caucuses with Senate Democrats, giving the party its 51-49 edge over Republicans. A 2024 GOP win in the Senate seat would decimate Democratic chances of holding the majority, already a challenging task with seats up in the Republican-leaning states of Montana and Ohio and the deep-red bastion of West Virginia, among other competitive contests.

Lake, who ran unsuccessfully for Arizona’s governorship against then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs in 2022, has also become known nationally for her debunked claims that she won her 2022 race — though, like Trump, she's lost practically every court case. Lake, a former local television anchor in Arizona, still aligns herself with Trump. It's practically a necessity since Trump is the likely 2024 GOP nominee, in a rematch against Biden. Yet Lake has made efforts to connect with establishment Republicans ahead of her Senate campaign launch, another sign that she may be tamping down her firebrand image.

Gallego, elected to a safely Democratic Phoenix-area House seat in 2014, spent the early part of his congressional career as an acerbic critic of Republicans. He's a member of the House Progressive Caucus, representing the furthest-left faction of House Democrats. “As we learn more about Iran’s role in these horrific terrorist attacks against Israel, one thing is clear: we should immediately freeze the $6 billion in assets and use available tools to discourage Iran’s illicit conduct,” Gallego said in his statement. “Our ally Israel is at war, and while the conflict continues, we must stand united.”
