PHOENIX — Ruben Gallego, a child of immigrants who found his way to Harvard, Iraq, and Congress, was projected to defeat Republican Kari Lake on Monday night ... Arizona!" The former Fox 10 newscaster had yet to publicly concede the race.

The night before the election, Senate candidate Kari Lake of Arizona, a former TV anchor turned election truther, thanked her supporters for voting early—something she has long railed against.

Kari Lake has cut into Ruben Gallego's early lead with many votes still to be counted. Both candidates are staying mostly silent.
