Arizona race becomes Senate GOP’s ‘firewall’
By Reid Wilson - 09/20/18 06:00 AM EDT

TUCSON, Ariz. — The Democratic path to a majority in the Senate is narrow and fraught, and if it exists at all, it runs through Arizona, a conservative state that last sent a Democrat to the upper chamber 30 years ago.

But in a year when Democrats have a substantial advantage, Republicans worry their hold on a once-safe seat is in jeopardy — and their standard-bearer, Rep. Martha McSally (R), is warning that her campaign may be the last chance to prevent a Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.).

“If there is any chance for them to be in charge, it goes through Arizona,” McSally told supporters at a local Republican club recently. “I am the firewall.”

McSally is the embodiment of an evolving Republican Party, one in which populist fans of President Trump are superseding traditional conservatives who are no fans of the president.
