Arizona’s political landscape in the Biden era

The state is poised to once again enter the national spotlight for its next U.S. Senate election in 2022.

With increased security, events on Inauguration Day remained peaceful in stark contrast to the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol that put the nation on edge. After taking his oath of office, President Biden called on Americans to unite and acknowledged the partisan divides that still exist. For analysis on how that message resonates with the political landscape in Arizona, we spoke to University of Arizona political scientist Samara Klar.
