AZ-SEN 2024: Away we Gallego (3/5 - Sinema OUT)

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

Your next big Fox News contributor, friends.

I imagine her eventual Fox show is going to have a truly terrible Sinema/cinema pun.

Imagine if it was the current title for this thread!

That's the only one I've seen folks come up with (As cringe as it is), so I give it a pretty high chance

When was the last time a candidate who lost a statewide general election made a successful statewide run immediately the following cycle? Particularly failed gubernatorial candidates?

The only one in recent memory I can think of off the top of my head was Claire McCaskill, who lost a gubernatorial election in 2004 before winning a US Senate election in 2006.

Susan Collins ran unsuccessfully as the Republican nominee for Governor of Maine in 1994, then won the Senate race in 1996.

There's also Diane Feinstein losing the CA gubernatorial race in 1990 before winning her Senate seat in 1992
