PHOENIX, ARIZONA — President Donald Trump endorsed Andy Biggs for governor of Arizona during a Turning Point USA rally in Phoenix on April 17, 2026. Trump appeared on stage alongside Biggs, the gubernatorial candidate, during the event.

Trump also used part of his remarks to address developments involving Iran and a key shipping route in the Persian Gulf. Trump said, "This will be a great and brilliant day for the world, because Iran has just announced that the Strait of Hormuz is fully open and ready for business." The comments came as Trump highlighted Biggs as his preferred candidate in the Arizona gubernatorial race.

The rally took place in Arizona, a swing state. Arizona currently has two key congressional races. Turning Point USA, the organization that hosted the event, held the rally at a Phoenix venue. Trump's endorsement of Biggs marks the president's direct involvement in the Arizona governor's race ahead of the election cycle. Biggs, who appeared alongside Trump on stage, is running for governor of the state.
