  • With abortion, fake electors and Ruben Gallego's Senate run, Arizona stayed in the national spotlight in 2024. Here are the Top 5 moments in politics.

The article from MSN discusses five key political stories that shaped Arizona's political landscape in 2023. Firstly, Kari Lake, a former TV anchor, lost the gubernatorial election but continued to challenge the results, claiming election fraud, which led to her becoming a prominent figure in the "election denial" movement. Secondly, the state saw significant political upheaval with the resignation of Republican state Senator Steve Kaiser, who cited the toxic political environment as his reason for stepping down. Thirdly, a group of Norwegian pop stars inadvertently became part of Arizona's political scene when they were featured in a campaign ad for Lake, which went viral for its oddity. Fourth, the article touches on the ongoing legal and political battles over abortion rights, with Arizona's near-total abortion ban being a focal point of contention. Lastly, the influence of dark money in Arizona politics was highlighted, particularly through the activities of groups like Save Arizona Democracy, which spent heavily to influence elections without disclosing their donors. These stories encapsulate the tumultuous and often bizarre nature of Arizona's political year.
