President Donald Trump declared a “BIG NIGHT FOR MAGA” in Arizona after every Republican candidate he endorsed in the state’s primary elections secured victory on Tuesday, prompting the president to tout a “7-0” record and a “100%” success rate in one of the country’s most closely watched battleground states.

Trump spent Wednesday morning celebrating the results on Truth Social, posting individual graphics featuring each victorious candidate alongside his own image beneath the banner: “Endorsed by President Trump!”

Among those highlighted was former NFL kicker Jay Feely, who captured the Republican nomination in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, a highly competitive House seat expected to play a key role in determining control of Congress in November.

Trump also celebrated victories for Rep. Eli Crane in Arizona’s 2nd District, Mark Lamb in the 5th District, Rep. Juan Ciscomani in the 6th District, Rep. Abe Hamadeh in the 8th District, Rep. Paul Gosar in the 9th District, and Rep. Andy Biggs, who won the Republican nomination for governor.

The president singled out Biggs in a separate post, writing: “Congratulations to Congressman Andy Biggs, who will be a GREAT Governor. Must now defeat a Radical Left Dumocrat, one of the worst governors in the Country, Katie Hobbs, who is weak on Crime, but strong on Raising Taxes. Go Andy, Go!!! President DJT.”

Biggs, a longtime Trump ally and former chair of the House Freedom Caucus, will face Hobbs in one of the nation’s marquee gubernatorial races.

Feely’s victory also sets up a closely watched general election battle in Arizona’s 1st District, an open suburban Phoenix-area seat viewed as one of the nation’s most competitive House races.

Meanwhile, Ciscomani advanced unopposed on the Republican side in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District and will face Democratic challenger JoAnna Mendoza in another contest expected to be central to the fight for control of the House.
