President JoeBiden's visit to Arizona to designate a large area around the Grand Canyon as a national monument showcases his work on conservation and clean energy in a state that ultimately could determine who will become president in 2024.
Recent polling indicates Biden is facing an uphill battle to repeat his narrow 2020 win in the state. Nationally, Biden has a 41% approval rating, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released in late July. A survey released earlier this year by Morning Consult found Biden’s approval rating is underwater in Arizona by 17 percentage points.“Here in Arizona is still some of the most expensive gas in the country.
“I think the only way Joe Biden gets Republican or a lot of independent votes is if Donald Trump is the nominee,” Marson explained. “There are Republicans here that will hold their nose and vote for Biden because they can’t stand Trump. Shoring up his base and reaching out to independent voters is important. This new move to protect the Grand Canyon from mining is generally supported by most voters that live here.
Biden’s visit to Arizona on Tuesday also shifts the state’s unpredictable 2024 race for Senate back into the spotlight, which could become a three-way race. The election could feature incumbent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema , who left her party to become an independent last year, Rep. Ruben Gallego , the progressive likely Democratic nominee who announced his run in January, and Kari Lake, a polarizing conservative who lost her election for governor last year.
"I do think he should be doing more," Gallego said to ABC News."It is a very, very big problem, especially in the Southwest, but also other parts of the country, and helping us pass this legislation, or using any type of executive action to allow FEMA and states to declare emergencies is extremely important, especially for us to get the funds that we need to create the programs to save people from extreme heat.
