Donald Trump Endorses Both Karrin Taylor Robson And Andy Biggs For Arizona Governor 2026

In a strategic and somewhat surprising political move, former President Donald J. Trump has extended his endorsement to two Republican contenders for the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race — Karrin Taylor Robson, a prominent Arizona businesswoman, and Representative Andy Biggs, a sitting member of the U.S. House.

The dual endorsement was revealed on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, where he praised both candidates as “fantastic” and “champions” of conservative values.

“I like Karrin Taylor Robson of Arizona a lot, and when she asked me to endorse her, with nobody else running, I endorsed her and was happy to do so,” Trump stated.
“When Andy Biggs decided to run for Governor, quite unexpectedly, I had a problem — two fantastic candidates… it is therefore my great honor to give my complete and total endorsement to both.”

This unprecedented gesture reflects Trump’s ongoing influence within the Republican party, especially in key battleground states like Arizona.

Karrin Taylor Robson’s Early Start

Robson, a well-known business leader and former member of the Arizona Board of Regents, officially declared her candidacy in February 2024. Her campaign has emphasized economic development, secure borders, and education reforms — themes that align closely with Trump-era policies.
She previously ran in the 2022 GOP primary and has remained active in Arizona’s conservative political circles.

Andy Biggs Enters the Fray

Congressman Andy Biggs, representing Arizona’s 5th district, formally joined the race after filing a statement of interest in January 2024. Known for his staunch support of Trump and America First policies, Biggs has consistently advocated for strict border enforcement and government transparency.

His entry into the gubernatorial contest has injected fresh energy into the Republican race and added complexity to Trump’s influence over the state’s conservative base.

What This Means for Arizona’s 2026 GOP Primary

Trump’s support for both candidates underscores his desire to keep Trumpism alive regardless of who wins the primary. Political analysts believe that this endorsement could split the conservative vote, making the race even more competitive.

This development also reflects broader shifts within the Republican Party in Arizona, which has seen sharp internal divisions in recent years.
