Arizona's Stanton Crushes Democratic Socialist Kai Newkirk By 36 Points
Newkirk, 45, campaigned in Arizona's 4th District on ending US military aid to Israel and imposing an arms embargo.
- Newkirk racked up more than 25 arrests for civil disobedience before this run for Congress.
- Our Revolution, Track AIPAC, Progressive Democrats of America and Cenk Uygur endorsed the challenger.
- Young Democrats of Arizona pulled its endorsement, citing "concerning patterns of behavior."
Why it matters: National activist endorsements moved headlines, not votes; primary arithmetic returned a plain 36-point verdict.
