What to watch in Arizona’s primaries

Arizona's earlier-than-usual July primary is shaping up to be a significant event, with critical races for governor, key state offices, and congressional seats on the ballot. This shift, mandated by state lawmakers to ensure sufficient preparation for the November general election, sets the stage for potentially consequential outcomes, especially in the gubernatorial race where Republicans see a rare chance to challenge the incumbent.
