Washington Post: Andy Biggs Refuses To Answer Questions About His Extreme Record of Election Denial

A new Washington Post report spotlighted Andy Biggs’ long record of election denialism and his refusal to answer basic questions about the extreme agenda he continues to push in Arizona.

While Biggs refused to be interviewed for the story, the Post highlighted that he has continuously “declined to say whether Biden legitimately won the 2020 election.” Last week, Biggs recently joined his twin, Kari Lake, in telling KJZZ he “wouldn’t say” whether Gov. Hobbs beat Kari Lake in 2022 when asked directly. 

At the same time, Biggs refuses to answer questions about why he continues backing the same Washington agenda that is raising costs for Arizona families — from tariffs driving up grocery prices to reckless policies sending gas prices soaring.

Washington Post: Republicans who denied 2020 election results could be governors next year

• Political figures who took leading roles in trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election appear on track to win the Republican Party’s nomination for governor in several of the country’s biggest battleground states, including Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

  
  

• Their prominence shows how President Donald Trump’s baseless claims that the election was stolen have become an article of faith within the Republican Party, more than five years after he lost to Joe Biden. And it means victories in this year’s midterm elections would give Trump supporters who were central to his efforts to overturn the election key oversight roles in the 2028 presidential election, for which states hold main authority.

  
  

• Democracy advocates and Democratic Party leaders say they are alarmed by the denialism but say the issue is likely to take a back seat to other voter concerns such as affordability. Democrats are making a concerted effort to connect denial of the 2020 outcome to broader themes such as corruption, economic anxiety and insider dealing.

  
  

• “This is an important issue. But it’s not the only issue, and it shouldn’t necessarily be the lead thing,” said Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, a group preparing to make Republicans’ history of election denialism a key issue in 2026. “Almost everyone in this economy is struggling because of [Trump] and these folks that are running, these election deniers, were willing to do anything for this president. So, their past attempts to steal an election were to steal it for a guy that’s made life tougher. They’re certainly not going to stand up to him to try to make life easier.”

  
  

• The races are underway as Trump and his administration seek changes in how the midterm elections will be run and continue to relitigate how the 2020 election was conducted. Trump last month signed an executive order — subsequently challenged in court — seeking to limit who can vote by mail. The Justice Department has seized 2020 ballots in Georgia and taken possession of a trove of 2020 election data in Arizona.

  
  

• The Post contacted Republican candidates who questioned the 2020 election results in seven states to ask how their views on that election would inform their possible terms as governor. None agreed to be interviewed, other than Mike Lindell, the MyPillow founder and Minnesota candidate who has spent years promoting false claims about stolen elections.

  
  

• In Arizona, Rep. Andy Biggs, the overwhelming favorite to win the Republican nomination for governor, was central to the Republican effort in 2020 to block certification of the election results. Biggs, who is running with Trump’s endorsement, joined a friend-of-the-court brief in the Texas lawsuit aimed at voiding the election results in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin — all states Trump won in 2016 and that Biden carried four years later.

  
  

• Biggs, in an interview with a radio show in Phoenix last week, declined to say whether Biden legitimately won the 2020 election.
