Trump-endorsed Rep. Andy Biggs won the Republican primary for Arizona governor on Tuesday, easily defeating fellow GOP Rep. David Schweikert. Biggs, a former chair of the House Freedom Caucus and close Trump ally, will now face Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs in the November general election. Republicans are optimistic about flipping the governorship after Trump carried Arizona by five points in 2024, though the state has become a tossup, electing Democrats to both Senate seats and other statewide offices. Hobbs has already shifted focus to Biggs, amassing a significant campaign warchest and running ads, while Biggs has conserved cash due to a lack of a serious primary challenge but still trails Hobbs in fundraising.
