    Any Democrat trying to win an election in Arizona, most political
    strategists agree, must do nearly everything right — and still hope for a little luck.

    By that standard, next year’s elections are looking worrisome for
    Democrats in the Grand Canyon State.

    Their standard-bearer, Gov. Katie Hobbs, is among the nation’s most
    vulnerable Democrats seeking re-election in 2026. And, rather than
    bolstering her with vital political muscle and support, the party has been consumed by an acrimonious and seemingly petty feud between the new state Democratic chairman and Arizona’s two Democratic senators.

    In a swing state with around 300,000 more Republicans than Democrats, and
    where President Trump stormed to victory in November, Ms. Hobbs is also
    likely to face a more formidable opponent than she did in 2022, when she squeaked out a win against Kari Lake, whose stolen-election lies had
    alienated voters across the political spectrum.

    Representative Andy Biggs, a hard-right populist, and Karrin Taylor
    Robson, a businesswoman from the party’s more moderate McCain wing, have entered the G.O.P. primary. Both have been endorsed by Mr. Trump, but
    their contest is already shaping up as a fierce battle, with die-hard
    Trump supporters mocking Ms. Robson as having suddenly jumped on the president’s bandwagon.

    November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
    forward to America being great again.

    We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
    stupid people won't be offended.

    Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

    Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama
    / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
    The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer liberal democrat donors.
