An Arizona special election primary Tuesday to replace the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva is the latest flare-up of the Democratic Party’s clashes over age and experience.

Deja Foxx had a small watch party at Zerai’s International Bar. She presumably lost by a wide margin to Adelita Grijalva in the primary.

Mr. Hogg compared Ms. Foxx’s late surge in support to the shocking success of a 33-year-old democratic socialist, Zohran Mamdani, who last month overtook Governor Cuomo, the frontrunner candidate, to win the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor.

Adelita Grijalva won the primary race for Arizona's 7th Congressional District—a seat her father, the late Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva had previously held—beating out 25-year-old digital strategist Deja Foxx on Tuesday night. Newsweek reached out to Foxx via X, formerly Twitter.

Adelita Grijalva, daughter of the late Congressman Raúl Grijalva, won Tuesday's Democratic primary in the special election to replace her father, and will advance to this fall’s general election.

The next test of who Democratic voters want to see leading the party will take place Tuesday in southwest Arizona, where three leading candidates are offering competing visions in the primary to fill the late Rep.

Adelita Grijalva is the front-runner to replace her father in Congress but faces an unexpectedly competitive primary featuring a young social-media-savvy newcomer.

While Adelita Grijalva is polling ahead in the CD7 Democratic primary it’s another candidate who’s making all of the headlines in this race: 25-year-old Deja Foxx.
