In Arizona's Republican primary, five-term Congressman Andy Biggs won the gubernatorial nomination, setting up a November general election against incumbent Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs. Biggs, a prominent election denier investigated by the January 6th Committee, has been endorsed by Donald Trump and other MAGA figures. Meanwhile, former sheriff Mark Lamb won the GOP primary for Arizona's Fifth Congressional District to fill Biggs's seat. Lamb, endorsed by Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, faced allegations of sexual impropriety, including multiple affairs and using his sheriff position to silence women, though he denied the accusations and was cleared of criminal wrongdoing. He will face Democrat Elizabeth Lee in the general election.
