Adrian FontesGUEST
It's a tie.
Adrian FontesGUEST
It's a tie between Martha McSally and Carrie Lake.
Adrian FontesGUEST
And you know why? Because between them, they've given the Democrats three US senators and a governor.
Adrian FontesGUEST
But that means what I'm saying.
Samara KlarGUEST
And historically, that crucial block of the electorate has really helped a lot of the Democratic candidates win, especially when they can run more moderate or centrist campaigns.
Samara KlarGUEST
For Andy Biggs to be so connected to Donald Trump, you know, he's got to be looking at people like Carrie Lake, Blake Masters, Martha McSally, and realizing that this is possibly not the road to victory in Arizona.
Samara KlarGUEST
I think we have seen him back down a little bit from that previously very tight connection.
Samara KlarGUEST
And I'm sure that's what his campaign is pushing him to do right now.
Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
is sick
Vaughn HilliardCORRESPONDENT
and for double down on it i mean come on and this is the part where it seems like there's almost a detached understanding of how the electorate now votes in the year of 2026 and the idea that they're not going to look up amy acton's family story after watching this video here because if you go back in 2018 kirsten cinema was running for the arizona senate seat And her opponent at the time, Martha McSally, was running these ads mocking her looks and that she wore a pink tutu at the time.
Vaughn HilliardCORRESPONDENT
In Arizona, this conservative state, I was struck by how many voters at that time told me, it was like, oh, well, we've researched what Kyrsten Sinema said, why she was wearing the pink tutu.
Vaughn HilliardCORRESPONDENT
And they were angrier at her Republican opponent for mocking her.
Vaughn HilliardCORRESPONDENT
And that is, I think, the question in front of Ohio voters that Vivek Ramaswamy, Neera, may have to confront is to what extent are campaign ads, ultimately the final say in a voter's mind, versus the independent agency that voters have to do their own research and ultimately come up with the true reality that Amy Acton suffered through from the ages of 10 to 12 years old.
Neera TandenGUEST
I mean, it was fascinating yesterday.
18 MINS LATER
Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
Because if you're not registered and you do the work and they find out, you go to jail.
Symone Sanders-TownsendHOST
It feels like nobody is concerned about going to jail.
Kevin WallingGUEST
But she-
Meghan McCainHOST
Martha McSally
Kevin WallingGUEST
... yeah, like I th- like where are the Martha...
Kevin WallingGUEST
Like she was compelling, uh, and like I, I just don't know where those folks are in, in, uh, in Arizona anymore, and that's a shame because you have a great, uh, history-
Meghan McCainHOST
Yeah, and then she-
Kevin WallingGUEST
... with Barry Goldwater, your dad, of like strong, authentic, Jon Kyle who we just lost, strong, authentic Republicans that serve as-
Meghan McCainHOST
Martha McSally lost her reelection to Kyrsten Sinema, who now, I don't know if you've been following, has like the most soap opera insane-
Miranda WilkinsHOST
Crazy
Howard MortmanHOST
Democratic Representative Kyrsten Sinema flipped a seat that had been in Republican hands for 24 years.
Howard MortmanHOST
Six days after the election, Republican Representative Martha McSally conceded the race, and she did it in a social media video that went viral.
Martha McSallySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Hey, everybody.
Martha McSallySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I just called Kyrsten Sinema and congratulated her on becoming Arizona's first female senator after a hard-fought battle.
Martha McSallySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
As I traveled around this state, I was so inspired by the many people that I met, and I am convinced Arizona is the best state in the country, and our best days are still yet to come, and I'm gonna continue to pray for our success.
Martha McSallySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Thank you so much.
Howard MortmanHOST
Why did Martha McSally's concession video go viral? Because the real star was her dog, Boomer.
Howard MortmanHOST
Time Magazine called Boomer, "A delightfully unbothered golden retriever who upstages McSally with his blissful tongue-lolling presence, sitting upright next to her on the couch and making a play for a handshake." Bob Cusack and Kirk Bado, pleasant concession speeches.
Tony KinnettHOST
Again, we've had all of these candidates.
Tony KinnettHOST
We've had McSally, we had McCormick.
Tony KinnettHOST
They're all awful and they're all carbon cutout of the same left-wing middle-aged woman.
Tony KinnettHOST
They all, on the left, age into one of those three branches.
Stephen K. BannonHOST
Yeah.
Seth KeshelGUEST
McSally's district-
Stephen K. BannonHOST
Yeah

Justin Robert YoungHOST
It was an even bigger polling miss.
Justin Robert YoungHOST
RealClearPolitics had Rick Scott losing in Florida, had Martha McSally beating Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona, had essentially Claire McCaskill and Josh Hawley in a dead heat, and then had a Democrat winning in Indiana.
Justin Robert YoungHOST
When those polls missed, they missed horrendously.
Justin Robert YoungHOST
Jackie Rosen beat the brakes off her opponent in Nevada by five points.
