Abraham Hamadeh has won the Republican primary for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, defeating Blake Masters and others in a contentious race. With nearly 30% of the vote, Hamadeh, who previously ran for attorney general, received early support from former President Donald Trump but faced a last-minute endorsement for both candidates from Trump just days before the election. The primary highlighted Hamadeh's controversial stances, including his alignment with discredited election theories, as well as personal attacks exchanged between him and Masters. Hamadeh's victory positions him favorably for the general election against Democratic opponent Gregory Whitten, as the district has historically leaned Republican. Despite past electoral losses, including a narrow defeat for attorney general by just 280 votes, Hamadeh's triumph signals a strong backing from the GOP base. The outcome sets the stage for a competitive general election, with Hamadeh expected to hold the seat for years to come.
