After, PA 's staggering reversal last Tuesday, the next big pickup opportunity is in Arizona’s 8th congressional district, where a special election will take place on April 24th. The race is to fill the seat left by disgraced former GOP Rep. Trent Franks in the wake of several sexual harassment allegations. Trump won the district by 12.1 points in 2016 — but hey, he won PA-18 by 21 points, and we obviously know what happened there.
In a closely contested primary, Democrats ultimately chose Dr. Hiral Tipirneni, an emergency room physician and cancer researcher who emigrated to the United States from India with her family when she was just three years old. As you might expect, she’s strong on issues like healthcare — she wants a public option for Medicare buy-in — and immigration, which is a hot point of contention in Arizona.
