Maricopa County , home to Phoenix and its ever-sprawling suburbs, was once a safe Republican state in presidential elections.

That changed in 2020 when Joe Biden became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win the county since Harry Truman .

The suburbs are now ground zero for the whole election, potentially deciding not only the White House but also the Senate and the House of Representatives .

The district has been slowly moving away from the Trump -era GOP .

In 2022 , Lake and an election denier running for secretary of state both lost.

But Schweikert held on by less than 1 percent and Kimberly Yee , the incumbent Republican state treasurer, won comfortably.

According to recent polls, this divide has carried over into 2024 with Lake lagging both Lake and Trump in the district.
