Trump-backed slate dominates Arizona primaries as Feely wins in 1st District

Trump-backed candidates swept Arizona’s primaries: former NFL kicker Jay Feely defeated Joseph Chaplik in the 1st Congressional District to fill a Schweikert seat, Mark Lamb led the open 5th District, and Andy Biggs won the GOP gubernatorial contest after Schweikert ran for governor. On the Democratic side, Kai Newkirk was bested by Greg Stanton in the 4th District, while Amish Shah led in another Democratic primary race. The result underscores a strong GOP tilt in the state heading into the midterms.
