The FAKE News media said this race was a toss-up, but I knew Jay Feely, a TREMENDOUS kicker, would do GREAT. And he did. He won the Republican primary in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, defeating several rivals — because I endorsed him, and when I endorse, people WIN. The Democrats are in total chaos. Total! They backed a loser, Marlene Galán-Woods, a former Republican and former television journalist who switched parties at the beginning of my first term — very predictable, very desperate. She was the DCCC’s hand-picked candidate, all the establishment support, and she lost to Amish Shah, who was the 2024 Democratic nominee in that district. He barely squeaked by, about 5,000 votes in early returns Tuesday night — very SAD!

Shah and Feely used to be on the same team — the New York Jets. Shah was a sideline doctor, Feely was MY kicker. Now they’re opponents. Feely will CRUSH him in November. The district is northeast Phoenix, Scottsdale, Fountain Hills, Paradise Valley — beautiful places, rich people, they LOVE me. Republicans have more voters there, but the media keeps saying it’s competitive. It’s only competitive because the Democrats are running someone the national party didn’t want. The DCCC backed Galán-Woods and the voters said NO. That’s what’s happening all over the country — the Arizona primaries set the stage for a BIG Republican wave, and now Andy Biggs won the governor primary — another great victory for our movement. The seat is open because David Schweikert, a good man, ran for governor but lost to Biggs. That’s fine, he’ll be great. NEVER forget — these things happen, but we WIN anyway.

The House is EVERYTHING. The Republicans have a narrow majority, and this district is one of about thirty that will decide it. With Feely — a strong, TOUGH, INTELLIGENT guy — and MY endorsement, we will hold that seat. The Democrats are divided, their national party is out of touch, and they couldn’t even get their preferred candidate through a primary. This is a great time for America. We’re going to WIN so much, you’ll get tired of winning. BIG LEAGUE.
