Abe Hamadeh has eschewed the center and stuck to the Right since winning the Republican nomination in his bid to be elected Arizona attorney general, a critical post in a key swing state.
Whereas Blake Masters, the Republican nominee for Senate in Arizona, attempted to moderate his position on abortion after the Aug. 2 primary, the 31-year-old Hamadeh still vows, according to his campaign website, to oppose the procedure “beginning at conception.” And in an interview with the Washington Examiner just before Labor Day, Hamadeh, endorsed by Donald Trump, declined to downplay the former president’s unsupported claims that the 2020 election was stolen.
While some instances of fraud were discovered in 2020, none uncovered rose to the level such that it might have altered the outcome of the election. Once obscure, contests for down-ballot state constitutional offices, such as attorney general and secretary of state, have taken on higher profiles in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election. After Trump refused to concede to now-President Joe Biden, he pressured Republicans in states like Arizona to overturn his defeat. As a part of those efforts, Trump asked GOP attorneys general to prosecute election fraud despite a lack of evidence.
Hamadeh continues to embrace Trump and promises to “prosecute all election fraud and make sure that future elections are secure.” He warns against “cancel culture,” lamenting that “the radical Left has taken over every aspect of our lives,” and says of Democrats: “They are so prideful to raise the [Black Lives Matter] flag but not the American flag.” It’s not hard to see why Trump, and grassroots Republicans, find Hamadeh appealing.
