From NBC News: Kari Lake won the Republican Senate primary in Arizona, NBC News projects, officially setting up a critical matchup against Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego.
Lake, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, was running ahead of Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb 55% to 39% with roughly 95% of the expected vote in. Former news anchor Elizabeth Reye placed a distant third.
Lake advances to the general election for the seat being vacated by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema against Gallego, a Phoenix-area House member and Marine veteran who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. The race in battleground Arizona will be among a handful that determine partisan control of the Senate this fall.
“This is not a battle between Democrats and Republicans. This is a battle between good and evil,” Lake said at her election night event. “This is a battle between the people who want to destroy this country and the people who want to save America.”
I want to thank everyone who put in their blood, sweat, & tears, knocking on doors, volunteering, & working for our campaign
I love every one of you
I want to thank Arizonans for entrusting me to be their voice

Another big win: Trump-endorsed Abe Hamadeh, a U.S. Army veteran and former prosecutor, won the GOP primary in his race for U.S. Congress. Hamadeh is running to represent Arizona’s 8th congressional district.
Hamadeh had previously ran for Arizona Attorney General in the 2022 election.
They underestimated me because they underestimate the American people. We are stronger than they can ever even imagine.
Thank you Arizona, the grassroots, @KariLake, President Trump, and so many others who had my back.
The good guys still have a shot… let’s roll. 🇺🇸💪 pic.twitter.com/mJa3iq0X0C

Congratulations to Army veteran and former prosecutor @AbrahamHamadeh on his primary win!#AZ08 made clear they want a conservative warrior to stop extreme San Francisco radical Kamala Harris’ open borders and inflation assault, and Abe will do just that. pic.twitter.com/7oGoLg6dtz
