Will she be able to run for the US Senate in 2024 or Will her husband being a US Senator prevent her from running?
I like to see a Husband and Wife US Senate team.
Kelly/Giffords(D-AZ).

(8,617 posts)If Giffords had not been shot in the head, She would have ran for the US Senate in 2018(She would have won the Democratic nomination over Sinema-D). Giffords would have won the 11/2018 general election.
Sinema would ran for the US Senate in the 2020 special election a would have won. In 2022 she would face opposition from Ruben Gallego and lost.
Having Sinema serving in the US Senate for 2 years is better than 4.

But Giffords won't ever run for or serve in public office again. Your question was predicated on the assumption that she is cured mentally and physically. She is not.

For all the Crocodile tears, the only problem the gop had with GG gettign shot is that there was not a blindfold involved, just like they will try again and again.
