26. Ducey has relatively high approval ratings.

He did not run against Kelly because he thought Kelly was a strong candidate. (It turns out Kelly was not. Kelly only got 51% of the vote against a flawed candidate who was unknown in AZ before the primary). Also Trump was against Ducey but that will be yesterday's news in 2024.

Can Raúl Grijalva win a state wide primary against someone like Stanton and Sinema? Maybe. But I highly doubt he can win a general election against a major name like Ducey. Grijalva is really not known outside his district. A major factor in whether Grijalva or Stanton run against Sinema in 2024 is what its looks like in the House future. If the Rs look like they will keep control they will be more likely to run. It is not fun being in the minority in the House.

Yes, Ducey can go back into business. But he is still young and he has plenty of time to do that.
