Based on the latest special election polls, Lesko is ahead by an average of three percentage points against Tipirneni. However, the polls also showed that Tiperneni was able to close the gap.
In an interview with Politico, Chip Scutari, a Republican consultant in Arizona, a single-digit win for Lesko in the district is a “wake-up call” for the party’s elected officials. He also commented that the “anti-Trump mood has reached a new stratosphere.”
On the other hand, Dan Eberhart, a major Republican donor in the state, said, Republicans watching the race.
“If Lesko wins by a slim margin in a district that overwhelmingly went for President Trump, it will mean statewide candidates are going to have a rough road to hoe. If Tipirneni wins … the Republicans are the clear underdogs in the Arizona Senate race this fall.”
