Since 1948, Arizona has only sided with a Democrat in the presidential race one time, Bill Clinton’s 1996 reelection. Former Rep. Jim Kolbe, a Republican who represented a Tucson-area district for 22 years before retiring in 2007, is co-chair for Johnson’s Arizona campaign. “I just can’t do it.”If Johnson drains once-stalwart Republican votes away from Trump, Clinton could get a boost, Democratic politicos say. “Arizona is trending in the right direction,” said Andy Barr, a Democratic strategist not affiliated with the Clinton campaign. In Arizona, like other states, Johnson is performing best among younger voters, who typically skew Democratic.
