Tuesday’s special election in Arizona’s Eighth Congressional District, in the conservative suburbs outside Phoenix, may reveal the depth of Republicans’ political challenges in 2018. Debbie Lesko, the party’s nominee and a former state senator, is favored to win over Hiral Tipirneni, a Democrat and emergency room doctor, in a district that supported Donald J. Trump in 2016 by more than 20 points.
Any interpretations of the result? It seem like it should have been a bigger victory. We have a Senate seat up in AZ.
What were the Trump/Clinton vote totals?
Thanks.
“Hiral Tipirneni”? Does that qualify as a real name? LOL
