Former NFL kicker Jay Feely and former Sheriff Mark Lamb, both backed by President Donald Trump, won their Arizona Republican U.S. House primary races Tuesday night, delivering another round of victories for candidates endorsed by the president in one of the nation's top political battlegrounds.

Feely easily captured the GOP nomination in Arizona's competitive 1st Congressional District, defeating former state Rep. Joseph Chaplik after running a campaign centered on his close ties to Trump and his commitment to advancing the president's "America First" agenda.

The former Arizona Cardinals kicker repeatedly highlighted his personal relationship with Trump, arguing that he could provide direct access to the White House.

Trump endorsed Feely after the former NFL Pro Bowler shifted from the 5th District race to the open 1st District race earlier this year, clearing the way for former Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda to pursue a statewide campaign.

According to Politico, Feely will now face a difficult general election in November in the suburban Phoenix district, one of House Democrats' top pickup targets after Trump narrowly carried it in the 2024 presidential election.

Meanwhile, former Pinal County Sheriff Lamb prevailed in the Republican primary for Arizona's deep-red 5th Congressional District despite months of attacks centered on allegations of sexual misconduct and abuse of power.

Lamb defeated businessman Daniel Keenan, who spent nearly $2 million of his own money attempting to make the allegations the defining issue of the race.

Lamb has repeatedly denied the accusations, calling them false and politically motivated.

His campaign also rejected claims published by the Arizona Republic, while his wife publicly defended him amid what she described as a coordinated smear campaign.

Trump stood firmly behind Lamb throughout the race, reaffirming his endorsement earlier this month after first backing the former sheriff last year.

Turning Point USA also supported Lamb's candidacy.

CBS News reported that Lamb's victory positions him as the overwhelming favorite to replace outgoing Republican Rep. Andy Biggs, who secured the GOP nomination for Arizona governor.

USA Today said Tuesday's results underscored the continued strength of Trump's endorsements in Arizona, where Republican primary voters overwhelmingly sided with candidates aligned with the president's MAGA movement.

The victories by Feely and Lamb also reinforced Trump's influence heading into the midterms as Republicans seek to defend their House majority while competing in one of the nation's most closely watched swing states.
