"Karrin is proud to have President Trump’s endorsement. She has held more than 100 events this summer and earned support from over 8,000 donors in just the first six months of her campaign. She is the candidate Democrats fear most, the clear frontrunner in this race, and she welcomes anyone who wants to run for the GOP nomination—for second place," the Robson campaign said in a statement.
Both Biggs and Robson have been endorsed by President Donald Trump.
"I like Karrin Taylor Robson of Arizona a lot, and when she asked me to Endorse her, with nobody else running, I Endorsed her, and was happy to do so," Trump posted to Truth Social in April.

"The Arizona GOP primary for governor is already an extreme and expensive mess — and David Schweikert considering running is the latest sign the chaos and infighting is just starting. If he does run, the reality is Schweikert, Andy Biggs and Karrin Taylor Robson all share the same harmful and unpopular agenda of ripping health care away and supporting job-killing tariffs that are hiking taxes and costing small businesses a fortune," DGA Communications Director Sam Newton said in a statement. "In contrast, Governor Hobbs is in a strong position because she has worked with both parties to make life safer and more affordable for Arizonans, including securing the border, tackling drug smuggling and human trafficking, raising pay for first responders, and eliminating the tax on rent — all while repealing the state’s 1864 near-total abortion ban. That’s the type of strong and steady leadership Arizonans will want to stick with, no matter who survives the GOP’s clown car primary."
