The Republican Party has recently suffered a string of bad news in candidate recruitment that could further hamper the party's sagging odds
The Republican Party has recently suffered a string of bad news in candidate recruitment that could further hamper the party's sagging odds in the November midterms, with candidates dropping out or getting disqualified from key races.
On Thursday, moderate Republican Karrin Taylor Robson dropped out of Arizona’s toss-up gubernatorial contest, paving the way for Rep. Andy Biggs to win the GOP nomination. Oddly, both were endorsed by President Donald Trump.
A conspiratorial lunatic, Biggs was a key player in Trump’s effort to steal the 2020 election. And he is likely too far-right to win a purple state like Arizona.
In fact, one Republican compared Biggs with Kari Lake, the election-denying former newscaster who lost the gubernatorial race to Democrat Katie Hobbs in 2022, a year that should have been a slam dunk for Republican candidates.
“These three candidates are parroting Kari Lake’s dangerous, election-denying agenda,” Patty Hansen, a Republican and former recorder for Coconino County, told the Arizona Republic, referring to Taylor Robson, Biggs, and Rep. David Schweikert, who is also running for governor.

"The left-wing Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed launched a new ad campaign last week highlighting his family's "roots in mid-Michigan." The ad features his step-grandparents, Judy and Jan Johnson, lauding his work as Wayne County health director.
Absent from the spot was any mention of the candidate’s maternal half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, the self-described "queer Muslim activist" and professor in the Department of Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago who has advocated for a "stateless, communized society" and called to abolish the police. Abdelhadi was arrested for allegedly spitting on an Illinois state trooper at an anti-ICE protest last year.
Abdelhadi focuses on "gender and sexuality in American Islam." A self-described "Queer Muslim" and "community organizer" who uses the pronouns "she/they," she has been at the center of far-left protests on campus.
The university announced an investigation into her conduct after she condemned the school as a "colonial landlord" and "police force," adding, "like, fuck the University of Chicago, it's evil. Like, you know?" Months later, in October, she was arrested and charged with felony aggravated battery after prosecutors said she "knowingly and intentionally" spit on a state trooper while protesting outside of an ICE facility near the university.
Abdelhadi is the author of the "funky, commie, queer novel" Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune alongside her "bestie," coauthor M.E. O'Brien, a "trans communist" who wrote the 2023 book Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care. The novel is a fictionalized "oral history" of "sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes" who band together to create a "radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse." It depicts a "communized" New York in which police are abolished and the nuclear family is replaced by "caretaking relationships within the commune." It also depicts a Middle East in which Israel is destroyed by a "Final Intifada."
Abdelhadi included herself in the book as a character who helps rioters storm the campus of her "former employer." In a 2024 Vox interview, she called it "very much a theory book in disguise.""
