Here’s the latest news out of Arizona:
Arizona Democrat Mark Kelly and incumbent Sen. Martha McSally (R) are virtually tied in the Grand Canyon State’s 2020 Senate race, according to a new Emerson College poll released Tuesday.
Kelly, a former astronaut and gun control activist who's married to former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.), has the support of 46 percent of registered voters, while McSally, who was appointed to her position after losing the race for Arizona’s other Senate seat last year, has 45 percent.
Despite the poll showing a tight race overall, it does flash a warning light for McSally, who trails Kelly among independents by 5 points.
The race between Kelly and McSally is one of the nation’s highest profile Senate races. It's also McSally’s second Senate campaign in two years — last year she lost a bid against Democrat Kyrsten Sinema to replace retiring Sen. Jeff Flake (R), but was eventually appointed to fill the Senate seat left open after the death of former Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
The Arizona race is also likely to be one of the costliest of the 2020 cycle. So far Kelly has outpaced McSally in fundraising in every quarter this cycle, ending the third quarter of 2019 with $9.5 million in cash on hand compared to McSally’s $5.6 million.
