A new report from CNN details the state of the race in Arizona’s messy and crowded GOP U.S. Senate primary, where “all of [the GOP Senate candidates] have embraced some level of rhetoric about shoring up confidence in US elections,” and endorsed Arizona Republicans’ sham “audit” that aims to undermine voter confidence in the election and overrule voters.
As the Republican candidates promote baseless lies and look back toward 2020, “suppressing their own voters,” families across Arizona are looking toward the future. Despite congressional Republicans’ complete opposition, parents across the state last week began receiving up to $300 a month per child thanks to the work of U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly and Democrats in Congress — a tax cut for working families that the GOP candidates have shown zero sign of supporting.
