The Associated Press projected that Senator-elect Mark Kelly, a retired astronaut and the husband of former Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., would win the election nearly a week ago. Kelly has already named his transition team, and he's been assigned temporary office space.
McSally, who also lost her 2018 Senate bid before being appointed by Republican Gov. Doug Ducey to fill the late Sen. John McCain's seat, refuses to concede the race. With no more than 59,993 ballots left to count, McSally trailed Kelly by 81,322 votes as of Tuesday morning, according to Arizona Mirror reporter Jeremy Duda.

(10,126 posts)because McSally was just temporarily filling in for John McCain until an election could be held.
I presume that her refusal to concede prevents the Democrats from adding a vote in the current Senate. Maybe she's waiting to see if Trump can scuttle the AZ vote somehow ....
Who knows for sure?

(13,181 posts)"Why are two Republicans, Martha McSally and Donald Trump such sore losers?" Trump would not like sharing the limelight with McSally. Be sure to say her name first whenever discussing them for an added bonus Trump dig.
