Democrats closed the gap with a health care message.
Republican Debbie Lesko has defeated Democrat Hiral Tipirneni in the special election for Arizona’s Eighth Congressional District. But Tuesday night’s race should still give Republicans pause.
In a deeply conservative district, Tipirneni was able to substantially narrow Lesko’s margin of victory over Donald Trump’s in 2016. And the national Republican Party and outside GOP groups poured more than $1 million into winning the seat that will be up again this November.
