President Donald Trump celebrated a clean sweep of his Arizona endorsements after every Republican candidate he backed won their primary contests on Tuesday, boasting a "7-0" record and a "100%" success rate on Truth Social.
Primary Winners and What They Mean
Trump posted individual graphics on Truth Social with each victorious candidate alongside his own image under the banner "Endorsed by President Trump!" The slate of winners included both newcomers and incumbents who are now positioned for high-profile general-election matchups in November:
- AZ-1: Jay Feely — former NFL kicker who won the GOP nomination for the open suburban Phoenix seat.
- AZ-2: Rep. Eli Crane — secured the Republican nod in the 2nd District.
- AZ-5: Mark Lamb — won the Republican primary in the 5th District.
- AZ-6: Rep. Juan Ciscomani — advanced unopposed on the Republican side and will face Democrat JoAnna Mendoza in November.
- AZ-8: Rep. Abe Hamadeh — captured the GOP nomination in the 8th District.
- AZ-9: Rep. Paul Gosar — won the 9th District primary.
- Governor: Rep. Andy Biggs — secured the Republican nomination and will challenge incumbent Gov. Katie Hobbs in a marquee statewide race.
"BIG NIGHT FOR MAGA" — Trump posted, later sharing a graphic touting a "7-0" sweep and repeating that his Arizona endorsements were "100%" successful.
Political Implications
The victories highlight Trump's continued influence over Republican primaries in Arizona and set up several competitive general-election matchups that could help determine control of the U.S. House. Jay Feely's win in the open 1st District creates a closely watched suburban contest, while Ciscomani's unopposed nomination in the 6th sets up a key rematch versus Democrat JoAnna Mendoza. Andy Biggs' nomination guarantees a high-profile governor's race against Katie Hobbs.
As candidates pivot to the general election, both parties will target these districts and the governor's race as central battlegrounds in the fight for control of Congress and state leadership this November.
