Arizona's 2026 governor's race is now set, with Democratic incumbent Katie Hobbs and Republican Andy Biggs confirmed as their parties' nominees following Tuesday's primary. Hobbs advanced unopposed as she seeks a second term, while Biggs secured the Republican nomination with the backing of Donald Trump, setting up a closely contested general election in one of America's key battleground states.

Biggs' victory continues Trump's strong run of successful endorsements during the 2026 primary season, reinforcing his ongoing sway over Republican politics. With both candidates now formally confirmed, attention turns to the November contest, which is expected to be tightly fought given Arizona's long-standing status as a swing state in national elections.
