Story summary

In the 2026 midterm elections, Democrat Katie Hobbs secured reelection as Governor of Arizona, defeating Republican Andy Biggs with 56.3% of the vote compared to Biggs's 42%. The race was closely watched due to its significance in a state won by former President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election and because it highlighted tensions over conspiracy theories about the 2020 election results, which Hobbs had contested as Secretary of State. Despite her vetoes of over 100 bills during her first term, Hobbs emphasized bipartisan achievements and supported issues like border security and tax cuts, while Biggs focused on repealing these vetoes and reducing Arizona’s income tax rate from 2.5%.

🔮 Flanagan, Minnesota’s lieutenant governor, will become the first Native American woman elected to the upper chamber.
🔮 The 2026 midterm elections will feature 36 gubernatorial races, with voters determining which party will shape the political direction of most states across the country.
🔮 “Democrats should understand that the allegation is almost certainly true — whatever conclusions they draw from that point could vary — and her denials calling it a right-wing, Islamophobic or racist conspiracy are almost certainly not,” Radinovich wrote.
🔮 National GOP operatives now fear the fallout could threaten the Senate re-election campaign of Republican Jon Husted in a state Trump won by 11 percentage points two years ago.
🔮 News of the search warrant, whether properly predicated or not, could affect voters’ decisions, which is exactly why federal law enforcement should not engage in such conduct when voters are casting their ballots.
🔮 But residents are worried that those who would want to return to Ukrainian-controlled areas could instead be taken to Russia or occupied Crimea.
🔮 The White House initially pegged the price at $200 million, but a contractor’s estimate obtained by The Washington Post put the broader project’s cost at $600 million, a substantial portion expected to come from taxpayers — despite Trump previously saying private donors would cover the ballroom.
🔮 Rep. Ilhan Omar insisted she’ll keep voting in Minnesota as federal investigators probe her immigration history, brushing off questions about whether the investigation could threaten her US citizenship.
🔮 Vice President JD Vance revealed “there’s a chance” he won’t run for president in 2028 — and second lady Usha and the couple’s four young kids could help make the decision for him.
🔮 Rogers said Sunday that he would have voted for the bipartisan sanctions legislation that Trump is now declining to enforce, arguing that the administration needs to do more to bring down soaring diesel prices hitting Michigan residents. “I would have voted for the sanctions bill on Russia,” Rogers said during a CNN State of the Union appearance with Dana Bash.
