Arizona GOP primary results: Andy Biggs wins gubernatorial race with strong margin

Rep.Andy Biggs (R-AZ) secured a decisive victory in the Republican gubernatorial primary, winning with 71% of the vote according to NBC News.The win comes despite a Washington Post report revealing his involvement in a decades-old legislative episode involving a polygamist sect accused of child sexual abuse.Cindy McCain's endorsement of Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs could still influence the race, analysts note.Biggs, who led the hard-right House Freedom Caucus from 2019-2022, announced he won't seek re-election in 2026.His victory positions him to face Hobbs in the general election, though Arizona remains a key state for Trump-aligned Republicans.The primary results highlight ongoing tensions within the GOP as election deniers and hardliners consolidate power.Biggs' win also underscores the challenges faced by Trump-backed candidates in states where Democrats hold governorships.The race reflects broader debates over the party's direction and the influence of figures like Trump on the Republican establishment.
