With GOP congressman David Schweikert running for Arizona governor, Democrats seize opportunity to flip 1st CD

Jeff Singer and David Nir report:
Republican Rep. David Schweikert announced Tuesday that he would run for governor of Arizona rather than defend his swingy House seat—a decision that will have a huge impact on two of next year’s most competitive elections. 
Schweikert joins fellow Rep. Andy Biggs and businesswoman Karrin Taylor Robson in the Aug. 4 primary to face Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. 
In 2022, Hobbs became the first Democrat to lead the Grand Canyon State in 14 years after she won a tight contest against far-right conspiracy theorist Kari Lake. Republicans are now determined to retake control of this swing state. 
Schweikert, though, first needs to win a primary where he’s in the unusual position of facing two opponents who have Donald Trump’s “complete and total endorsement.”
