Trump ally Andy Biggs wins Republican nomination for Arizona governor
Biggs overwhelmingly defeats David Schweikert and will now face Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in November.
Republican U.S. Representative Andy Biggs, a close ally of Donald Trump, has won the party’s nomination for governor of Arizona and will now move on to face Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs in November, according to a monitored public feed from Al Jazeera Latest.
Biggs defeated fellow Republican David Schweikert by a wide margin, securing the nomination in the state’s gubernatorial race. The result positions him as the Republican challenger in one of the country’s closely watched state contests.
The outcome reflects Biggs’s strength with Republican voters in Arizona, where he has built a profile as a staunch conservative and one of Trump’s prominent supporters. With the primary now settled, the race shifts toward the general election matchup between Biggs and Hobbs.
Hobbs, a Democrat, is seeking another term after winning the governorship in 2022. The November contest is expected to draw significant attention as Arizona remains a politically competitive state.
