Andy Biggs wins Republican nomination to challenge Democrat Katie Hobbs for Arizona governor
Trump-backed Andy Biggs won the Republican nomination and will face Katie Hobbs in a race expected to be among the nation’s closest.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs won the Republican nomination for Arizona governor, defeating fellow Rep. David Schweikert with over 71% of the vote and advancing to a competitive November general election against incumbent Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs.
- President Donald Trump's endorsement and support from Turning Point Action's grassroots turnout machine proved decisive, while Schweikert struggled to raise money and could not overcome Biggs' momentum despite his fiscal-conservative alternative pitch.
- Democrats plan to portray Biggs as an extremist, citing his tenure as chair of the House Freedom Caucus from 2019 to 2022 and his vote against certifying Arizona's 2020 election results after the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.
- Biggs' nomination poses a strategic challenge for Arizona Republicans, who have lost recent statewide races after nominating Trump loyalists like Kari Lake four years ago, raising questions about independent voter appeal.
- Maricopa County officials reported power outages at two polling sites on Tuesday, with connectivity issues affecting electronic poll books earlier in the day, underscoring election scrutiny in a county managing two-thirds of Arizona's voters.
