Arizona's U.S. Senate Seat Flips Blue as Sinema Declares Victory
----------------------------------------------------------------

In Arizona, Democrat Kyrsten Sinema has won the race for a U.S. Senate
seat, defeating Republican and former U.S. Air Force pilot and colonel
Martha Mc Sally. She will replace outgoing Republican Senator Jeff
Flake, who is retiring. Sinema, who worked on Ralph Nader's presidential
campaign in 2000, will become the first openly bisexual senator and the
first female senator from Arizona. Her victory is the first time a
Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat in Arizona in 30 years, and means
Democrats will have at least 47 seats in the Senate-as results from
Florida and Mississippi remain uncalled.
