Arizona is home to a unique political context due to its emergence as a swing state, its geographic location on the border, and its tribal influence. In 2016, Arizona was won by Trump but in 2020, Biden narrowly achieved victory, exemplifying the state’s purple hue. The 2024 Arizona Senate race drew attention as the outcome would impact the partisan balance of the U.S. Senate. With no incumbent in the race following Krysten Sinema’s departure from the Democratic Party and subsequent decision against running for reelection, the fate of the Arizona Senate seat was unpredictable. The outcome of the election ultimately lay in the hands of moderates as they were left to decide between a Trump-affiliated Republican and a Biden-affiliated Democrat. This chapter examines this pivotal race and the fight over the center by exploring how Arizona’s political evolution has impacted the nature of campaigns and elections today. It concludes by outlining the election results and postulating the future of partisan campaign strategy in the evolving Arizona political landscape.
