Republican Kari Lake, AZ US Senate candidate, challenged Rep. Ruben Gallego to a debate on abortion after Arizona's abortion ban repeal.

Republican Kari Lake, Arizona's US Senate candidate, challenged Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego to a debate on abortion after Arizona's Civil War-era near-total abortion ban was repealed. Lake's challenge came shortly after the ban's repeal, and Gallego's campaign declined her invitation. Lake's inconsistent stances on abortion have been a source of controversy and have complicated her efforts to unite the party.
