Trump ally sets sights on Arizona’s Democratic governor

Andy Biggs, a MAGA Republican endorsed by Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk, won the Arizona GOP primary with 73% of the vote and will challenge Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in November. Biggs faces difficulties in a state with a nine-point Republican voter registration advantage but also a significant independent voter population. Hobbs, who won a narrow 2022 gubernatorial race, must navigate a tough reelection effort despite raising over $9.5 million.
