“We have people coming in from all over the country” with high incomes and high levels of education, Arizona Senate candidate RubenGallego tells bencjacobs. “There are 5,000 to 6,000 Latinos turning 18 every month. And they’re very politically active.”
shortly after she broke with Democrats to vote down legislation that would have raised the minimum wage to $15, which featured Sinema sipping sangria and displaying a ring that says “Fuck Off.” “When’s the last time she’s talked to anybody that’s not a lobbyist or handed her a check?” he asked derisively.
But his theory has a limited sample size and has been helped by the implosion of the Arizona GOP in recent years. In 2022, two of the least MAGA Republicans on the statewide ballot won, one of whom beat an incumbent Democrat. It remains to be seen how Arizona voters will act if Trump leaves the scene before 2024 and more traditional Republicans regain their influence in the state.
As for Sinema renouncing the Democratic Party to declare herself a formal independent, Gallego says it won’t save her in 2024. He cited his own campaign polling, which he says had her barely in the double digits with Democratic voters, and he is confident he could drive her “down to near zero.” While there’s no doubt she could win some Republicans thanks to years of poking Democrats in the eye, “I don’t see her getting the amount of support she needs to get to a plurality of the vote.
It is on the topic of Latino identity that he has broken with left-wing orthodoxy: In 2021, he received national attention forin his office. For him, this wasn’t so much punching left for its own sake, as critics argue Sinema does, as simply using the language of voters instead of leftist academics and activists. As Gallego tweeted at the time, “When Latino politicos use the term it is largely to appease white rich progressives who think that is the term we use.
