    5 stories that defined Arizona's year in politics

    Arizona had yet another noteworthy year in politics. All eyes were on the swing state for the 2024 general election. With a Senate race involving Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Kari Lake, as well as how voters would respond to constitutionalizing reproductive rights following the repeal of a 19th-century abortion law, Arizona stayed in the national spotlight. But that wasn't everything that happened. From using taxpayer's money on Norwegian pop stars to indicting President Trump's formal personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl go through five moments that defined 2024 for Arizona politics.

    What Trump's tariffs with Mexico could mean for Arizona

    Trump is targeting Mexico and Canada for his tariffs, as well, and that could directly impact Arizona as a border state as well as those who make their living off the international supply chain. But will they help or hurt Arizonans?  This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by two guests to discuss what impact Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexico will have on Arizonans. Economist at the University of Arizona George Hammond and Arizona Republic reporter Laura Gersony join the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Can Trump's border promises come true?

    With former President Donald Trump's re-election win this November, his aggressive plans — positive to some, negative to others — on the border and immigration seemingly won him the nomination. He promised mass deportations on day one of his White House return, saying he would declare a national emergency to make it happen. Trump's proposal would impact a quarter-million people in Arizona, according to the Pew Research Center. But how possible are Trump's plans? Logistical and legal questions have already been raised about how he'll succeed in enacting mass deportations, from both adversaries and members of his own party. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by Jennie Murray, the CEO and president of the National Immigration Forum.

    What's left on Arizona's election to-do list

    Despite the anticipation for another long election season extending into the new year, Arizona's election season went pretty smoothly. In stark contrast of 2022 and 2020, the 2024 election was calm and professional. But that doesn't mean that it's over. There are still a few recounts to complete before the season can really come to an end — both on the county and statewide level. And certain hiccups have politicos questioning if the next election will be as smooth, or if Arizona will find its way back into election chaos. This week on Election Dissection, an elections series of The Gaggle podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Mary Jo Pitzl and Sasha Hupka break down what the final steps are to wrap up election season, how denialism seems to be on hiatus and how it will impact Arizonans in the new year.

    How Trump won Arizona bigger than ever before

    Arizona and other key swing states all went red in 2024, helping Donald Trump secure the U.S. presidency. This year, he won Arizona by a bigger margin than the 2016 election. Weeks after the election, how Trump gained more votes is now being analyzed. With Trump heading back to Washington in January, this data might shed light on what might happen to the governor's seat in 2026, when Gov. Katie Hobbs' seat is open again. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by Stephanie Murray to break down the data of the 2024 election.

    GOP and Gallego wins prove Arizona's purple in 2024 election

    Leading up to the November election, pollsters across the nation showed Arizona to be one of the most swingy of the swing states. How Arizonans would vote in the presidential race and down-ballot contests were the equivalent of a coin flip. But as results were tallied over the past few days, it is clear now which party won convincingly. It's not necessarily the red wave effect, though. All of these races had the potential to go to Republicans or Democrats, proving that Arizona is just right of center. One Arizona race that moved against that tide was for the U.S. Senate. Late Monday night, Democrat Ruben Gallego clinched a win over Republican Kari Lake. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl discuss how Gallego prevailed over the red wall and what's next for both the legislature and Kari Lake.

    Arizona: the ultimate purple state

    On Tuesday heading into Wednesday, the presidential race was less than 1 percentage point apart, and once again, Arizona is the closest state in the country, for the time being. Republicans also wiped out the narrow Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate, but in Arizona, Democrat Ruben Gallego appeared to be headed to victory. Fox News has already called the presidential race for Donald Trump. In Arizona, Democrats fared quite well, at least in the unofficial results released Tuesday night. They could win key races in the Legislature and pick up two congressional seats.  With more ballots to be counted and a mandatory hand count audit on Saturday still to come, most of Arizona’s political future is still up in the air. This week on The Gaggle, a politics podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Ron Hansen and Mary Jo Pitzl are joined by political reporters at The Republic to break down what went down on election night 2024.
