.@sherifflamb1 he was never an opponent. He is my friend.

I really appreciate everything he has given Arizona and I know he is not done fighting for it. He's not done protecting him.

He ran a great campaign and I look forward to working together with him in the future. pic.twitter.com/qdf1oFuPFo

The upcoming Senate race against Democratic Rep. Rubén Gallego is expected to be a crucial contest that could affect the balance of power in the Senate.

Lake, a former news anchor, will face Gallego, who ran unopposed in the Democratic primary.

Senate Democrat Sinema left the Democratic Party last year to become an independent, and Lake's victory sets the stage for a closely watched race.

With former President Donald Trump's endorsement and a substantial fundraising lead, Lake has turned his campaign toward Gallego and the Biden administration.
