The Arizona Republican gubernatorial primary just got a whole lot clearer for MAGA patriots, as Trump-backed candidate Karrin Taylor Robson announced Thursday she's dropping out of the 2026 race, leaving Rep. Andy Biggs as President Trump's sole endorsed candidate.

This strategic move sets up what promises to be an epic showdown between two sitting GOP representatives: the Trump-endorsed Andy Biggs versus Rep. David Schweikert, in a primary that will test the strength of the America First movement in the crucial swing state of Arizona.

Trump made the rare decision last April to endorse both Robson and Biggs for the gubernatorial race – a move that had some scratching their heads. But Robson's exit now eliminates any confusion among Arizona patriots about who their champion truly backs.

Biggs Brings America First Credentials

Rep. Andy Biggs brings serious conservative firepower to this race. As a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus and a consistent fighter against the Deep State, Biggs has proven time and again that he's willing to stand up to the establishment swamp creatures in both parties.

Meanwhile, Schweikert will have to explain to Arizona voters why he deserves their support without the golden seal of approval from the man who just delivered the most decisive political comeback in American history.

"This race is about continuing the America First agenda that President Trump has championed," a source close to the Biggs campaign told reporters. "Arizona patriots know they can count on Andy to secure our border, stop the invasion, and put Arizona families first."

Arizona's America First Future

With Robson's departure, the choice for Arizona Republicans couldn't be clearer. Do they want a proven Trump ally who will implement the President's agenda without compromise? Or will they gamble on a candidate who lacks that crucial Trump endorsement?

Arizona has been ground zero for election integrity battles and border security fights. The state needs a governor who won't bow to pressure from the mainstream media or cave to establishment demands.

The question now is simple: Will Arizona Republicans rally behind Trump's chosen candidate, or will the establishment try to pull a fast one on MAGA voters once again?

This is exactly what the Arizona GOP needed - unity behind a Trump-endorsed candidate! Now we can focus on taking back the governor's mansion instead of fighting each other in a messy primary.

Smart move by Robson. Shows she puts the party and state first.

Absolutely right! Primary battles just waste money and energy that should be going toward defeating the Democrats in November.

Finally! I've been saying for months that we needed to consolidate around one strong candidate early. Arizona can't afford another four years of Democrat policies destroying our border security and economy.

I was torn between the candidates, but this clears things up nicely. Do we know if Robson will endorse the Trump pick and campaign with them?
