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, 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.

Tensions within the Democratic Party over age, representation and experience have roiled a special election primary in southwest Arizona, where a young, social media-savvy activist is taking on the daughter of Rep.

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.

Voters in southern Arizona are selecting nominees Tuesday to succeed the late U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who was one of the most senior and progressive power brokers on Capitol Hill. Grijalva was a champion of environmental protections and reliably went to bat for immigrants and Native American tribes.

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.
