Arizona Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego will not run for Senate next year, choosing not to enter a contentious primary that could have hurt Democrats' chances to flip the Republican-held seat

Gallego said he decided not to run Sunday after conversations with his family. He spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer Sunday and informed his staff and political advisers about his decision Monday. "We're going to talk because I want to make sure he's got the right plan, but I'm going to definitely support the Democrat who can win this no matter what, and I think that will be Mark Kelly," Gallego said.
Arizona is expected to be at the center of Democrats' hopes to win back the Senate in the 2020 elections, and it will likely be a major battleground in the presidential race.
