President Donald Trump is endorsing two Republican candidates in the 2026 Arizona gubernatorial race, with Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs up for re-election. 

Trump on Monday endorsed attorney Karrin Taylor Robson and GOP Rep. Andy Biggs.

Hobbs has yet to announce whether she'll seek a second term.

In December 2024, Trump said he would endorse Robson, but she didn't declare her candidacy until February. Meanwhile, Biggs, who represents Arizona's 5th Congressional District, declared his candidacy in January.

"When Andy Biggs decided to run for Governor, quite unexpectedly, I had a problem — Two fantastic candidates, two terrific people, two wonderful champions, and it is therefore my Great Honor TO GIVE MY COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT TO BOTH," Trump wrote on TRUTH Social. "Either one will never let you down. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Robson ran for governor in 2022, but lost to Kari Lake in the GOP primary. 

Trump has a history of endorsing two GOP candidates for one elected seat in Arizona. Last year, he backed Blake Masters and Abe Hamadeh for Arizona's 8th Congressional District. Hamadeh won the race.
