A second Republican Senate seat just flipped to the Democrats:
Democrat Kyrsten Sinema won Arizona’s open U.S. Senate seat Monday in a race that was among the most closely watched in the nation, beating Republican Rep. Martha McSally in the battle to replace GOP Sen. Jeff Flake.
The three-term congresswoman won after a slow vote count that dragged on for nearly a week after voters went to the polls on Nov. 6. She becomes Arizona’s first Democratic U.S. senator since 1994. Her win cemented Arizona as a swing state after years of Republican dominance.
A major, major victory for Sinema and the Democratic Party, following the win in Nevada's Senate race by Democrat Jacky Rosen over Republican incumbent Dean "Old Yeller" Heller. Democratic women are leading the way in the West and throughout the country.
