    The gain is victory. Had Gallego lost, Republicans would have a greater majority in the Senate. Progressives might win in a blue area but in a contested area such as Arizona, it’s better to run a centrist such as Gallego. A centrist is able to attract independents.

      I don’t agree. Again, progressive policies are more appealing to most Americans than “centrist” ones. So called “centrist” candidates usually have a hard time appealing to moderates or conservatives because the only thing they want to do is help corporations, not people.
