PHOENIX — Republican Kari Lake and Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego faced off in Arizona’s feisty first and only Senate debate Wednesday evening, trading shots over the border, abortion, tax policy and more.
Lake has long made the border a cornerstone of her campaign, chastising Gallego for supporting the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies.
Gallego, in turn, has made the bipartisan border bill that Trump and Lake opposed a big part of his campaign.
“He acts like he cares about us,” Lake said of Gallego, “speaking directly to the women” watching the debate.
Talking to the media immediately after the debate, Gallego said: “She needs to be loud, she needs to lie because she’s weak.
