Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona at the State of the Union on February 7, 2023.
  • Arizona has been a hotbed for GOP election denialism since Trump contested the 2020 results.
  • When asked about it, Sinema criticized both parties for trying to "create their own narratives."
  • In 2024, Sinema would likely need support from conservative voters who doubt the 2020 election.

Asked why so many in Arizona did not believe in the legitimacy of the state's elections, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema blamed a broad "climate" of untruth driven by "members of both political parties."
