If Giffords had not been shot, would she be serving in the US Senate- occupying Sinema's seat?
Giffords was elected to the US House in 2006 and re-elected in 2008 and 2010. In 2012 AZ junior Republican US Senator Kyl decided not to seek re-election. The Republican nominee for the 2012 AZ US Senate Election was Flake. Would Giffords-D defeat Flake-R in 2012? If Giffords defeated Flake in 2012, She would have won re-election in 2018.
Regarding the McCain seat, Would Gallego-D run in the 2020 Special Election and win?
