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’s landslide win over Deja Foxx shows that real-world connections still matter more than social media influence in politics.

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.

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.
