Katie Hobbs in November. Voters across the state will also set the general election matchups for competitive U.S. House seats and for a full range of state and local offices. The Arizona governorship is a top takeover opportunity for Republicans in a midterm environment where voters historically have punished the party occupying the White House. The eventual winner, along with his or her statewide political organization, could play an important role in the 2028 presidential campaign, as Arizona is once again expected to be a critical battleground. READ MORE: Andy Biggs and David Schweikert offer competing visions for Republican Party in Arizona governor primary Of the seven Democratic governors in states Donald Trump carried in 2024 as the Republican presidential nominee, only two are up for reelection in 2026, and only Hobbs is expected to face a competitive general election. Educate your inbox Subscribe to Hereโs the Deal, our politics newsletter for analysis you wonโt find anywhere else. Two Arizona congressmen and two businessmen are vying for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Five-term U.S. Rep. Andy Biggs is a former chair of the conservative House Freedom Caucus. Eight-term U.S. Rep. David Schweikert is giving up his competitive swing district seat after narrowly prevailing against strong Democratic challenges in the last three elections. Businessmen Ken Miceli and Scott Neely have backgrounds in the construction industry. Biggs has a key endorsement from Trump. The president had already endorsed another candidate, billionaire housing developer Karrin Taylor Robson, but he issued an additional endorsement for Biggs shortly after he entered the race in early 2025. Taylor Robson dropped out of the race in February. Trump has been known to occasionally endorse more than one candidate for the same race. Recently, he endorsed both candidates in the primary runoff for South Carolina governor.

Joseph Chaplik, sportscaster and former Arizona Cardinals placekicker Jay Feely and technology and telecommunications executive John Trobough. Feely briefly ran in the 5th Congressional District, but Trump endorsed another candidate and nudged Feely to run in another district or for a different office. Feely switched to the 1st District, and Trump endorsed him and former state party chair Gina Swoboda for the nomination. Swoboda later dropped

Michigan officials say lettuce is a possible cause Health Jul 14, 2026 3:54 PM EDT NEW YORK (AP) โ Infections from the diarrhea-causing parasite cyclospora are surging, with state-level data suggesting that 2026 is already the nation's worst year for reported cases. More than 30 states have reported infections this year, and current data from them shows the number of infections surpassing the record U.S. mark of about 4,700 set in 2019. The illness is not usually life threatening and is typically treated with antibiotics. WATCH: What we know about the cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to produce Health officials have not yet definitively identified what is causing the infections. On Tuesday, federal health officials said there may be different infection patterns in different places, although they believe cases in at least four states โ Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia โ are linked. Michigan officials blame lettuce In Michigan โ where more than 3,300 cases have been reported โ officials say early information points to lettuce or salad greens as a possible culprit. After conducting more than 1,000 interviews with patients, "early information has shown lettuce as a common product that regularly comes up during the investigation," said Natasha Bagdasarian, the Michigan health department's chief medical executive. Because of that commonality and because produce has been behind some past cyclospora outbreaks, Michigan officials advised consumers to buy whole heads of lettuce, discard the outer layers and thoroughly wash what is left. They also suggested people avoid bagged lettuce and pre-mixed salad kits. On Tuesday, the Taco Bell restaurant chain issued a statement saying it had "voluntarily and temporarily removed limited ingredients at select restaurants as a precautionary measure. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and follow the guidance of public health authorities." In a call with reporters on Tuesday, federal health officials did not directly respond to a question about whether they are looking at Taco Bell or any specific food vendor or distributor. "FDA certainly is continuing its traceback investigation on multiple produce items, also including locations that are reported by the case patients before they became sick," said Donald Prater, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Acting Deputy Commissioner for Food, in response. Cyclospora causes 'explosive' diarrhea Cyclospora is a microscopic, spherical parasite that commonly causes watery diarrhea "with frequent and sometimes explosive bowel movements," according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Photograph: Foto-Story/Alamy View image in fullscreen A woman browsing in a Waterstone's. A critic said domestic noir is popular because it reflects โsome very real fearsโ. Photograph: Foto-Story/Alamy Nine of ten bestselling novels in UK have one thing in common: a woman is murdered Author Wendy Jones highlighted the trend in an Instagram post: โWhat is going on here?โ Nine of the 10 bestselling fiction paperbacks in the UK this week have one thing in common: a woman is murdered. The novels, which appear on this weekโs Sunday Times bestseller list , include The Secret of Secrets, The Divorce, The Names , The Family Friend, The Widow, The Impossible Fortune, The Hallmarked Man , My Husbandโs Wife and Boleyn Traitor. While the titles range from historical fiction to domestic noir and police procedurals, each centres on the death of at least one female character. Only The Correspondent, a novel about the art of letter writing, breaks the pattern. The trend was highlighted on Instagram by the author Wendy Jones, who wrote: โSo 84% [sic] of the books people bought and read in the UK this week involved a woman being murdered for entertainment. What is going on here?โ The concentration of currently popular novels about femicide may be striking but is not a new literary phenomenon. From the gothic suspense of Daphne du Maurier to the psychological thrillers of Gillian Flynn, the murdered woman has long been one of fictionโs most enduring plot devices. Flynnโs Gone Girl , published in 2012, helped propel novels centred on murdered or endangered women into one of the most commercially successful genres, with publishers spending much of the following decade searching for the next โgirlโ thriller. But why does commercial fiction keep returning to the same story? Critics argue that repeatedly turning women into victims risks normalising violence against them. Yet the genreโs paradox is that women are also its biggest consumers, with some arguing its appeal may be a way of processing real-world fears. The crime writer Mel McGrath wrote that the genre has, in some ways, moved on from the time of male authors such as Raymond Chandler and Mickey Spillane killing off women chiefly so the men investigating their deaths could be heroes. โReading crime fiction written by women remains a powerfully feminist act,โ she said. The crime writer and critic Laura Wilson explained that domestic noir is popular at the moment because it reflects โsome very real fearsโ. โFemale murder victims are far more likely to have been killed by people they know, such as intimate partners or family members, than male murder victims, who are significantly more likely to die at the hands of strangers,โ Wilson said. โEvery industry survey thatโs been done on this subject indicates that women account for the majority of crime fiction sales.โ skip past newsletter promotion aft

Photograph: Bloomberg/Getty Images Israelโs war in Gaza dominates US midterm races as Democrats split Tensions between progressive and moderate camps of Democratic party on display in key Senate race in Michigan The Israel-Gaza war created gaping divisions in the Democratic party and contributed to a resounding loss in a critical presidential election year in 2024. Two years later, the issue continues to dominate races across the country, as progressives try to seize on Israelโs falling popularity and a broad anti-war sentiment ahead of Novemberโs midterms. A recent debate among two Democrats vying for one of the most competitive US Senate seats in the country openly displayed the tension between progressive and moderate camps of the party. โThey clearly want one individual and itโs not me,โ Michigan Democratic contender Abdul El-Sayed said, referring to pro-Israel groups such as the American Israel Public Affairs Committee that are spending against him. โSo long as our politicians continue to be bought off by Aipac, do not be surprised when we fight wars that are in their best interest to annex Lebanon, or to do genocide in Gaza.โ Haley Stevens, the moderate US representative benefiting from pro-Israel spending in the Senate race, retorted that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was โtrashingโ her on CNN that day, saying she wasnโt afraid to stand up to Israel either. โNo one owns my vote and no one owns my policies,โ she said during the debate. โAnyone who is contributing to my Senate campaign is doing so because of my proven record of fighting for Michigan.โ View image in fullscreen Bernie Sanders with Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed at a campaign rally in Detroit in May. Photograph: Sarah Rice/Getty Images The careful balance of rhetoric and policy required of candidates trying to capture American sentiment on Israel has become a fraught litmus test. A poll by the Associated Press in June shows a third of US adults of all political backgrounds, and roughly half of Democrats, believe Israel has committed genocide in Gaza. The share of Democrats who said the US was too supportive of Israel was nearly 60%, up from 45% in January 2024. While younger Democrats were more likely to hold this view, older Democrats increasingly share it too, the poll found. Barack Obama official and moderate Democrat Rahm Emanuelโs speech in Tel Aviv this week could serve as evidence of that shift. With his eye on the 2028 presidential election, the former mayor of Chicago emphasized that US military aid to Israel should end, and in related interviews said he wouldnโt take money from AIPAC. Both of these statements would have been taboo for a moderate Democrat a few years ago. This year, the prominent role that foreign wa

Hearn, a three-time US Olympian, was indicted last week on a single felony count of property destruction. He appeared in local superior court in Washington DC , to enter the plea after he was criminally charged over the incident in mid-June. The conflict revolves around the 2,000ft-long (600-meter) pool, a centerpiece of Washingtonโs National Mall, which had been refurbished with an โAmerican flag blueโ liner at Trumpโs request as part of the 250th anniversary celebration of US independence. The multimillion-dollar renovation has been plagued with problems, including a bloom of algae that tinted the water green and pieces of the blue lining peeling off. The former Olympian, 67, โis accused of โmaliciouslyโ breaking or destroying lining material on the bottom of the reflecting pool on 19 June. Jeanine Pirro, the US attorney for Washington DC, claimed last Thursday that prosecutors had โtremendous evidenceโ that the Olympian had โforcefully and violentlyโ pulled up and removed the bottom liner in the reflecting pool, totaling more than $1,000 in damage. The 67-year-old cyclist denied removing anything from the pool, though he acknowledged that his bike tire may have touched the hose National Park Service workers were using to clear the algae. Hearnโs attorneys have said the charges against him are based on a โconcocted narrativeโ and โshould be alarming to every Americanโ. โI didnโt vandalize anything,โ Hearn told The Washington Post . โI didnโt destroy or break or peel anything.

Photograph: Elizabeth Frantz/Reuters Republican leaders seek to quell Mitch McConnell speculation as rebellion grows John Thune says he spoke to McConnell on phone as secrecy over 84-year-oldโs health prompts Maga backlash Republican leaders have moved to quash speculation about Mitch McConnell, the former Republican leader in the US Senate, amid a growing revolt over the lack of transparency around his health. The 84-year-old Kentucky politician, who led Senate Republicans for longer than anyone in history before stepping down last year, was admitted to hospital on 14 June but his office declined to say what he was being treated for. The secrecy led to a backlash from Donald Trumpโs support base, with some claiming that McConnellโs condition is graver than acknowledged and accusing his office of a cover-up. On Tuesday, John Thune , McConnellโs successor as Republican leader, sought to quell the anger by claiming that he had spoken by phone with McConnell on Monday. A Thune spokesperson said: โThey had a lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security.โ Senate Republican whip John Barrasso also weighed in. Kate Noyes, a spokesperson for the Wyoming senator, said on Tuesday: โSenator Barrasso and Senator McConnell had a lengthy conversation early this afternoon. Their phone call lasted roughly 20 minutes.โ The men discussed Senate races, including the scandal involving Democrat Graham Platner in Maine, and a recent supreme court ruling on coordinated spending limits, as well as the Senateโs July work period, according to Noyes. โSenator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate.โ The health of McConnell, who had polio in early childhood, has been under close scrutiny for years. He was hospitalised in 2023 after a fall that left him with a concussion, later froze twice during public appearances, sprained his wrist in another fall in 2024 and spent more than a week in hospital earlier this year for flu-like symptoms. On 14 June McConnellโs office said he had been taken to hospital and was โreceiving excellent careโ without providing further details. But according to recordings of dispatcher calls obtained by several media outlets, paramedics performed CPR on an โunconsciousโ person who appeared to be experiencing cardiac arrest at the home of McConnell on the same day. The person was not named. McConnellโs office said last week : โSenator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support heโs receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital. The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.โ Meanwhile, McConnellโs wife, former cabinet member Elaine Chao, reportedly returned to the US on Tuesday after a trip to China.

E Jean Carroll arrives at court in New York, New York on 17 January 2024. Photograph: Eduardo Muรฑoz/AP View image in fullscreen E Jean Carroll arrives at court in New York, New York on 17 January 2024. Photograph: Eduardo Muรฑoz/AP Trump denied latest bid to delay $5.8m judgment payment to E Jean Carroll Carroll was awarded damages after New York jury concluded Trump sexually abused her, then defamed her after she publicly described the attack Donald Trump โs latest attempt to delay payment of a $5.8m judgment for defaming a magazine columnist whom a jury determined he sexually abused has been emphatically rejected by a federal court judge. In a single-sentence 4 July order, US district Judge Lewis Kaplan denied the presidentโs request for more time to pay the civil judgment owed to E Jean Carroll , who was awarded the damages after a New York jury concluded that Trump sexually abused her in 1996 โ then defamed her after she publicly described the attack in 2019. Trumpโs move came days after the US supreme court, without explanation or reasoning, turned down his demand to review the juryโs 2023 verdict. In a subsequent filing to Kaplan, the judge overseeing the case, Trumpโs attorneys referred to how his former lead counsel, Justin Smith, had been confirmed to a federal judgeship in June on the presidentโs nomination. New lead counsel Josh Halpern therefore needed more time โto become completely familiar with the facts and procedural circumstancesโ, Trumpโs attorneys contended. Carrollโs lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, who is no relation to the judge, responded that the request for an extension โappears to be little more than yet another play for timeโ โ noting Trump nominated Smith for the court of appeals more than five months previously, and that he had โample time to retain new counselโ. Judge Kaplanโs rejection of Trumpโs motion was recorded as a โtext-only orderโ in an entry on the case docket, meaning it included no accompanying formal written order. It means the president has until Tuesday to release the money, which is being held in an escrow account, to Carroll โ or file additional arguments as to why he will not do so. The case is separate to Trumpโs appeal of a Manhattan civil juryโs 2024 award of $83.3m to Carroll for defamation. But her lawyers have suggested a legal scenario in which the president might seek to conjoin the cases and further delay payment of both. โWe can only assume that defendant is seeking โฆ to buy time so he can try to concoct some new basis to put off paying plaintiff presumably in connection with his forthcoming petition and motion for a rehearing,โ the Carroll attorney Kaplan wrote. In one of his final acts as Trumpโs attorney, Smith in June wrote to the US supreme court that his client would be appealing the larger award. He argued that โthe court may wish to consider the petitions togetherโ given they involve the same parties. The second case raises questions of presidential immunity since it relates to statements T

Harryโs spokesperson said the reason given for the withdrawal was upcoming judgment in his case against Associated Newspapers. Photograph: Hollie Adams/Reuters Buckingham Palace denies Prince Harry to stay at royal residence during UK visit Fresh row erupts over Duke of Sussexโs trip, the buildup to which has been overshadowed by security dispute Just as it seemed there might be a period of peace, yet another row has broken out between Prince Harry and his family, with one party saying he had accepted an invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace and the other countering within minutes that he would no longer be welcomed. The Duke of Sussex is to visit London and Birmingham for a series of charity engagements including promoting the Invictus Games. The โbuildup to the trip has been overshadowed by a dispute with the government over security, and a spokesperson for the prince saying on Sunday that the Duchess of Sussex and the coupleโs children would not join him in London, but could do later when he visits Birmingham. At about 9am on Monday, the BBC reported that his spokesperson had said the prince had accepted an invitation to stay at Buckingham Palace during the trip. But within about 15 minutes the broadcaster said the palace had contradicted that. A spokesperson for Harry said the offer from the king had been โwithdrawn at the last momentโ โ with the judgment in the dukeโs case against Associated Newspapers, which is expected on Tuesday, given as the reason. The spokesperson added that the announcement was โdisappointingโ. The Press Association said it was understood that the duke had initially turned down the offer on behalf of himself, his wife and children on Saturday, before making a U-turn later in the day and asking to stay himself. The appropriate hospitality and staffing provision was said to be no longer available, with Buckingham Palace also believing the longstanding legal case had complicated the matter, and could compromise the kingโs constitutional position, PA reported. The palace said that, while every effort was made to facilitate the princeโs stay, as a courtesy to staff and others involved, it needed a minimum level of notice to ensure he could be hosted appropriately at a royal residence. The duke and a group of other household names are to find out whether they have won their high court cases against the Daily Mailโs publisher in an expected written ruling by Mr Justice Nicklin on Tuesday. A spokesperson for Harry said: โI am aware of multiple briefings from Buckingham Palace last week suggesting that the duke had not accepted the offer of accommodation at a royal residence. After a decision not to provide security for his family, the duke โspent last we

Image source, Getty Images By Sareen Habeshian Reporting from Los Angeles Published 4 minutes ago Renowned American actor Danny Glover has been living with Alzheimer's disease for several years, he revealed. The 79-year-old told NBC in an interview with that aired on Wednesday that he received the diagnosis "not long" after an honorary Oscar designation in 2022. While his movements, speech and memories have since slowed, Glover said he is still remains active. "I can live with it in a sense," Glover said in the pre-taped interview. "I'm sure as it advances, things are going to be different and changing." A four-time Emmy winner, Glover is best known for his role in the Lethal Weapon series and The Color Purple film. In the interview with former NBC Nightly News anchor Lester Holt that aired on The Today Show, Glover and members of his family said they want to help change the stigma around the disease by speaking out about his condition. "I think it's really important for him to have control of his own narrative, of his own life story," Glover's daughter, Mandisa, said. "That's really important. And the time is now. What better time but now for him to speak for himself?" Glover is just one of some 7 million people in the US over the age of 65 living with Alzheimer's disease - a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms tend to become more severe and interfere with daily tasks. Older black Americans such as Glover are twice as likely as to develop Alzheimer's or another dementia as older white Americans, according to the Alzheimer's Association in the US, which notes that research hasn't yet identified the cause for the discrepancy. In the NBC interview, Glover reflected on his acting career, which he began in his early 20s - racking up more than 170 acting credits. He rose to fame in the 1980s with his role as Detective Roger Murtaugh alongside Mel Gibson as Martin Riggs in the Lethal Weapon films. Glover was also known for his role in films including Places in the Heart in 1984 and The Color Purple in 1985. With a passion for social justice, the actor launched a production company to develop and fund politically relevant films. "We have challenges in the world," Glover said in Wednesday's interview. " I think art becomes a reframe, a way of looking at that, you know?"
