Republican Kari Lake and Democrat Ruben Gallego both tried to convince Arizonans on Wednesday that they were the only reasonable choice for the U.S. Senate, while accusing the other of extremism. 

“We’re getting the extreme makeover version of Ruben tonight,” said Lake, a former longtime Phoenix news anchor, who is endorsed by Donald Trump and a notorious purveyor of the Big Lie that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. 

“She’s failed the basic test of honesty,” Gallego, a U.S. Marine who has represented the state’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House since 2015, said. 

Both candidates lobbed attacks at one another, with Lake mentioning Gallego’s father, a convicted drug dealer, and Gallego accusing Lake of spending more time wooing Donald Trump at Mar a Lago than at the border. 

Lake repeatedly spoke over Gallego and the debate moderators.
