This seems to seal the deal for Andy Biggs, a far-right member of Congress who chaired the Freedom Caucus, to get the GOP nod against Dem Governor Katie Hobbs.

Trump, Vance, RFK Jr., Rubio and Hegseth all get more negative than positive reviews from the public, but some of them aren't especially well known. (31% of Americans haven't heard of Hegseth.)
