Mike Collins, the Republican nominee in the race.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2690\">Six D.C.

I think it\u2019s a smart strategy.\u201d<\/p><p>Another Arizona politician, Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, is making a similar play for independent and GOP voters. Hobbs recently selected John Giles, a Republican former Mesa mayor, as her running mate for lieutenant governor this year. Giles also endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.<\/p><p>\u201cThe one thing you hear in swing voter focus groups over and over again is exhaustion with politics,\u201d said Democratic political strategist Steve Schale, who\u2019s not involved in the Arizona race. \u201cHer math problem is similar to [Talarico], and the thing is, it really doesn\u2019t lose her much \u2026 Even in Democratic primaries, the trait \u2018can work with Republicans to get things done\u2019 usually polls pretty strong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHobbes is making a bet \u2014 that appears to be working \u2014 that voters are just over it and want grown ass adults to get things done. I love it \u2014 and I wish more Dems in lean Red states running for Governor would do it,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>And in Alaska, a Senate battleground in 2026, Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola is hoping that voters will view her <span><u>rejection<\/u><\/span> of financial support from Harris \u2014 who is viewed negatively by most Republicans in the state \u2014 as evidence of her independent streak. President Donald Trump won Alaska by 13 points in 2024, and an association with national Democrats would likely hurt Peltola\u2019s campaign in the red state.<\/p><p>Democrats have tried this strategy before, including in the last three presidential elections, to varying success. Biden narrowly beat Trump in 2020 in purple states by similarly touting Republican endorsements. In 2024, Harris even teamed up with former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming), campaigning with her to make appeals to Republicans who were uneasy about Donald Trump. She went on to lose anyway.<\/p><p>National Republicans believe it also won\u2019t work this year.<\/p><p>\u201cDemocrats trying to appeal to Republican voters is like a career criminal suddenly running for sheriff,\u201d said Natalie Baldassarre, the national press secretary for the Republican National Committee. \u201cAll of these far-left extremists support open borders, higher taxes and endless government control. Democrats should get their own house in order before they come looking for new voters.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/modernhomejournals.com\/?p=2688\">Preservation Group Urges the Supreme Court to Stop Trump\u2019s Ballroom<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a polarized political environment Democrats are trying to show they can work across the aisle with endorsements from Republicans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2695,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2698","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2026-election"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
