Immigration, abortion dominate debate between Democrat Kelly, Republican Masters in Arizona Senate race: recap

Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly faced off against Republican challenger Blake Masters in a debate Thursday night hosted by Arizona PBS.

Immigration on the southern border, limits on abortion access and election integrity dominated the hourlong debate that was mostly civil but had bursts of acrimony and accusation.

Kelly, a freshman senator, is running for a full six-year term after serving only two years for winning a special election back in 2020. Masters, a venture capitalist has the backing of former President Donald Trump.
