Fairshake Notches Another Win With Arizona's Ruben Gallego; 16 House Seats Still Uncalled
Ruben Gallego won the Arizona Senate seat, defeating Kari Lake. Despite Democrats losing control of the Senate in the 2024 election, Gallego's victory mitigated some losses. Republicans will hold 53 seats, having flipped Pennsylvania, Ohio, Montana, and West Virginia. The crypto-focused PAC Fairshake invested $40 million in Ohio to support Republican Bernie Moreno. Gallego received $10 million from Fairshake and voted for key financial legislation. Prediction markets and polling indicated his win. In the House, Republicans have secured 214 seats, needing four more for a majority, while Democrats have 205. Fairshake backed 56 candidates in safe districts, achieving early success in primaries. However, recent developments show some Democratic candidates trailing or conceding their races.
