Who won the Arizona Senate seat? What You Should Know Lake, Gallego Racing

1 minute, 11 seconds Read

Yesterday was Election Day in Arizona and voters had a chance to fill a seat in the race for the state's Senate seat.

The seat is currently held by independent Kyrsten Sinema. The term is six years and overlaps with current Senator Mark Kelly's term. Sinema did not run for re-election.

On Tuesday, Arizona voters had the chance to elect either Democrat Ruben Gallego, an Iraq War veteran and former congressman, or Republican Kari Lake, a former television news anchor and staunch Donald Trump ally.

Gallego ran on a platform of protecting abortion access, housing affordability and Arizona's water supply. Lake campaigned on preventing access to abortion and securing the border.

Here's who's currently winning the U.S. Senate election, and when we might find out who won.

Who will win the race for US Senate?

Gallego is leading the current polls, although by a smaller margin than some might have thought.

With an estimated 60% of votes counted, Gallego leads Lake by 2.3 percentage points.

When will we find out who won?

Votes are still being counted across the state. Although about 60% of votes have been counted, election officials say counting would continue for several days after the election. State law gives county election officials about two weeks to complete the count.
