Abe Hamadeh Claims Victory in Congressional Race

In another surprising turn of events, Abe Hamadeh has claimed victory in the Republican primary for Arizona's 8th Congressional District, despite initial projections showing a different candidate leading. Hamadeh, who has Trump's endorsement, has been at the forefront of challenging the legitimacy of the 2020 election results.

Official's Comments Anger GOP Base

The Republican primary results have been met with mixed reactions, particularly the victory of Stephen Richer, a top elections official in Arizona's most populous county.

The Arizona Republican Party now faces a series of challenges as it gears up for the general election.
