Dick Cheney returns to the House and receives a warm welcome โ€ฆ from Democrats

Neither Cheney nor his daughter Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) have moderated their positions on any number of conservative issues they have held over the years, but their determination to take on former president Donald Trump and call out fellow Republicans is more than enough for Democrats.

Arizona's Kelly is sworn into Senate, narrowing GOP edge

(Nicholas Kamm/Pool via AP)WASHINGTON โ€“ Arizona Democrat and former astronaut Mark Kelly was sworn into the Senate on Wednesday, narrowing Republican control of the chamber and underscoring his state's shift from red to blue. Kelly, 56, defeated GOP Sen. Martha McSally in last month's election, making her one of only three incumbents to lose. Kelly's Arizona colleague, Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, held the Bible on which he took his oath. In what was one of the country's most expensive Senate races, Kelly raised $89 million. That was second only to the $108 million collected by defeated South Carolina Democratic Senate candidate Jaime Harrison, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.

Long a deep-red state, Arizona flips to Biden for first Democratic win in 24 years

Joe Biden was declared the victor in Arizona on Tuesday, making him just the second Democratic presidential candidate in the last 72 years to win in a state that long embodied the bedrock conservatism of Republicans such as Barry Goldwater. The last Democrat to win Arizona was Bill Clinton, in his 1996 reelection race. In 2016, Trump notched a narrow 91,000-vote advantage in Arizona over Hillary Clinton. Advertisementโ€œWe forever were this bastion of Goldwater conservatism, and that still lives on in the vast rural stretches of the state,โ€ said Michael Oโ€™Neil, a veteran Arizona pollster. That moderate stance also described Democratsโ€™ Senate candidate, Mark Kelly, the former astronaut and husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords.

EXPLAINER: A closer look at Arizona

Election officials arrive for work at the Maricopa County Recorder's Office, Thursday, Nov. 5, 2020, in Phoenix. The Associated Press has called the race in Arizona for Democrat Joe Biden. โ€œThe Associated Press continues to watch and analyze vote count results from Arizona as they come in,โ€ said Sally Buzbee, APโ€™s executive editor. Many of the gains have been driven by the shifting politics of Maricopa County, which is home to Phoenix and its suburbs. Maricopa County accounts for 60% of the stateโ€™s vote.

EXPLAINER: States to watch closely on election night

The former vice president is competitive in all the battleground states Trump carried in 2016, and has put a handful of traditional Republican states, including Georgia and Arizona, in play. Grab the binoculars and focus on these 10 states as election returns start rolling in:FLORIDA: 29 ELECTORAL VOTESAll eyes are on Florida, a swing state known for razor-thin election tallies. If President Donald Trump doesnโ€™t win Florida, heโ€™s going to have a rough time capturing enough states to stay in office. As early voting began in the state, Biden expanded his ad buys into every corner of Ohio. Trump won Arizona in 2016, but it is no longer an ironclad GOP stalwart.

Where today's GOP fits into Arizona's Republican past

"Arizona should not be up for grabs," said 60 Minutes correspondent John Dickerson, who reported from the state for 60 Minutes. Instead, the changes are also playing out within Arizona's Republican Party itself. THE HISTORY OF ARIZONA'S REPUBLICAN PARTY"This is not just any old Republican Party," Dickerson said. "The Republican Party of Arizona has, in the history of the Republican Party, played a signature role." BettmannMcCain succeeded Goldwater, both in the Senate and in stature within Arizona's Republican Party.

Biden, Harris aim to tip battleground Arizona for Democrats

Harris introduced Biden by blasting Trumpโ€™s โ€œreckless disregard for human life and for the well-being of the American peopleโ€ when it comes to the coronavirus pandemic. Arizonaโ€™s transformation seems stark for a state that just a decade ago was the epicenter of Republicans' push against anti-illegal immigration push. To varying degrees, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico have all moved closer to Democrats since the turn of the century. Since 1952, a Democrat has won Arizona only once โ€” Bill Clinton in 1996, with about 46% of the vote. Biden will look to run up the score there and on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona.

At RNC, GOP echoes racial code of Nixon's 1968 campaign

It came to be known as Nixon's Southern strategy: a campaign that used fear of crime and lawlessness to tap into white Southern voters opposition to racial integration and equality without using overtly racist language. Nixon had to peel away some Southern white voters from Wallace without alienating voters in other regions. As president, Trump denigrated as animals some immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally. Trump's take on the Southern strategy isn't necessarily aimed at Southern voters. His targets are more likely working-class white voters in battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin, Abramowitz said.

Doug Ducey speaks about the latest coronavirus update in Arizona and benefits of wearing a mask during a news conference in Phoenix.
