Kari Lake paints Kyrsten Sinema and Ruben Gallego as Biden’s enablers appeared on www.azcentral.com by Ronald J. Hansen.
Kari Lake continued to link Rep. Ruben Gallego and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema as enablers of President Joe Biden’s agenda Sunday during a nationally broadcast interview.
During a brief appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” the Republican U.S. Senate candidate turned to a line of attack that is the focus of her new campaign.
Lake and Gallego, D-Ariz., are running for the seat currently held by Sinema, I-Ariz. Sinema, who left the Democratic Party in December, hasn’t formally said whether she is seeking another term, but her campaign spending throughout the year suggests she is.
As she did during her campaign kickoff in Scottsdale last week, Lake is treating Sinema as little different than Gallego and casting herself as the only real alternative to Biden’s policies. It underscores Biden’s poor approval ratings and ignores Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, who also is running for the GOP Senate nomination.
Gallego “has done nothing but rubber-stamp Joe Biden’s agenda,” Lake said. “Joe Biden’s agenda is sending us to hell in a handbasket.”
“Kyrsten Sinema is the incumbent senator. She’s now a chameleon, acting like she’s not a Democrat anymore, acting like she’s an independent.
“But the fact of the matter is you just look at their voting records. They both vote with Biden almost a hundred percent of the time. They’ve been in Congress for about two decades combined and what do we have to show for it? Just higher gas prices. Inflation is hitting Arizona the hardest of any place in the country.”
Lake cited what she called an independent poll by a Republican-affiliated firm released last week that showed her leading Gallego and Sinema and cited it as evidence she can win the potential three-way race.
That poll is different than most of the few polls in the race that generally show Gallego with a narrow lead.
A Democratic consultant noted that it had a pair of significant demographic differences from the 2020 presidential election turnout: It surveyed more men than women, which is the opposite of 2020’s voting history, and it had relatively a small share of young voters and a relatively high share of older voters compared to the last presidential election.
Lake’s broadsides obscure significant differences between Gallego and Sinema.
He was supportive, for example, of a much wider-reaching domestic agenda for Biden than Sinema, who helped scale back what she considered overly pricey.
Biden originally sought an infrastructure plan topping $2 trillion. The final measure came about after Sinema’s direct involvement but was estimated to cost about $1.2 trillion.
Biden also wanted “human infrastructure” plans for things like universal pre-kindergarten and free community college. Those items were scrapped in favor of far smaller legislation that seeks to mitigate the effects of climate change, and is paid for, in part, from savings to the government by allowing Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies on some popular drugs.
Gallego and Sinema both backed the drug-pricing plan, though he supported a faster, more open-ended approach and Sinema backed a slower plan that wound up in the law.
