The moderate reinvention of Ruben Gallego, Senate hopeful in Arizona

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) prepped his run for a fiercely contested Senate seat by bashing the incumbent for “abandoning the Democratic Party” and Arizonans, and standing in the way of expanding voting rights and abortion access with her support for the filibuster. Now, after Sinema decided not to seek reelection, Gallego says he would “love to have” avowed centrist Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s endorsement, calling her “very well-liked” among her fellow independents.
