if babeu holds on, this will be an interesting race in the fall. >> has babeu been declared the winner in a.p.? not official by the a.p. >> he will face tom o'halleran once a republican, now a democrat. it is a battleground and split. >> o'halleran former sedona police officer and has that connection to norther >> let's move to district five. christine jones has put out slick commercials. she is ahead by roughly of 1,000 votes here. andy biggs is the one that has been supported by matt salmon. christine jones is giving him a battle. >> andy biggs, if he keeps this close, it may be because of the mormon vote.

handpicking him. matt salmon was winning the races, 70% of the vote. sheriff joe arpaio easily winning his race tonight as he goes for a seventh term at 84 years old to become sheriff one more time. >> andrew hasbun live with a preview of november's race, arpaio versus penzone part two. andrew, earlier arpaio talked about his age and slowing down. it is true. he does have a lot of energy for an 84-year-old man. >> reporter: he does have a lot of energy and he told me he is ready for another campaign and ready to fight the good fight. he has millions of dollars to help him fight the battle. it will be against paul penzone in november. it is their second time, second matchup. in the previously matchup, paul penzone lost by six percentage points. there were three people in the

different story at that time. this time, two people in the race, the sheriff and paul penzone. the sheriff has a long running case against him and he is looking at possible criminl contempt of court charges for his actions for not following the judge's orders. there has been concerned that he is 84 years and some people say it is time for him to retire and change for sheriff's office. don't tell the sheriff that. he fought back and he says he does not appreciate comments about his age. >> i'm going to keep doing my job. i always do. and also, let the people know we have done a lot of good things in my organization trying to get that word out, which is difficult.

do you want to say i'm too old? i'm not too old. i work 14 hours a day. you know it. you have been following me around for years and years. so i am going -- age means nothing. >> reporter: the sheriff wouldn't talk too much about the federal contempt of court charges but paul penzone the talking about the chang county office should he win come november. >> i want to be who i have been and who i will continue to be. i'm focused on policing and ways to run the sheriff's office efficiently with principles and a progressessal manner to serve the community. >> reporter: this is going to be a hard fight. the sheriff has a couple million dollars in the campaign war

has. >> this is going to drag on. >> it won't happen before the election in november. that cloud will hang over arpaio through the election. >> you're looing at the winner of tonight's g.o.p. district one race. chef paul babeu will go on run in no and -- november. gary kiehne nearly won it last time. a big win for paul babeu. >> two sheriffs, paul babeu and arpaio who have been embattled. paul babeu had the whole scandal with the pictures and the selfies, coming out as gay, all of this got everyone riled up

voters know me and they will return me to always and that has cared him in this district one. he worked extremely hard in this race. >> he will be facing a former republican, tom o'halleran. he has ann kirkpatrick's support. he will be facing tom o'halleran in november. >>oh over kelli ward. people tried to beat incumbent john mccain, which would have been abenormous upset. he wins by almost 20 percentage points. kelli world could not get by him. a deep war chest and he has been around since 1982 serving arizona. it is a difficult race for anyone to beat him but there is

ann kirkpatrick will be the challenger and anne kirk pat wick comes with a big war chest. you see her ads running up tonight. >> linda williams covering john mccain and she was with him when he made his victory speech. i sense a sigh of relief and the battle goes on and it goes into high gear starting right now. >> reporter: it what a fun night for john mccain and his supporters here at his headquarters in phoenix. i don't think anyone was nervous but i think towards the end as the polls tightened and some of the national headlines started saying this was going to be a squeaker of a race for mccain, maybe some people started thinking is he in trouble and the answer is no, he is not. he crushed kelli ward.

here tonight, he told them that it is imperative for republicans to keep control of the congress and have a stay in the supreme court justices. here is what else he had to say tonight. >> thank you to every arizonan who voted in the primary. those who supported me and those who supported one of my opponents. to the former, your privilege. i promise to work as hard as i can to deserve. to the latter, i promise to work as hard as i can for you, too, and to fight for policies and principles that i believe that essential to building a better future for arizona and america and making the world safer for our shared values. >> reporter: so forward we go to the general election in november.

immediately and we always talk about november 8 but you remember early voting starts in october. i think it is october 12 in arizona. so these candidates, kirkpatrick, mccain, everyone who made it through tonight has to hit the ground tomorrow because october is coming fast and this has been a wild and crazy election season. linda williams, fox 10 news. >> i want to take you back to -- well, we're not going to get a ch >> ann kirkpatrick just ran ads against mccain during the show. >> barry goldwater's last race, which mccain is possibly in right now. he barely one by half a percent. >> we just told you paul babeu won the race. he is running against tom o'halleran in november.

when did arizona become the center of the political universe? less than 24 hours, donald trump

the republican presidential candidate holds a rally downtown. >> before he visits the valley, he will head to mexico to meet with the president. a lot of people are taking to social media about trump's visit to the valley tonight. >> marc martinez has been keogh an eye on all of that. this is a big moment for donald trump. this immigration issue, he has vacillated, he has been all over the pap. tomorrow. >> reporter: he caught a lot of people by surprise when donald trump announced earlier tonight he is going to go to mexico tomorrow. let's look at the tweets that are coming in. this is our hash tag trump at az. this is the tweet that he announced he will visit with

nieto. here is a comment from michael saying trump speaks of a victory for the people, not the journalists, not the special interests and he says awesome. here is one that says how hard can be it be to throw up a wall while trump is in mexico tomorrow? got a few funny ones. my uber driver is trying to convince me to vote for trump and i'm about to jump out. arizona wants change but nervous for trump. let's look at -- no, let's not look at that one. >> are there pro-trump out there? >> there are. this says pena mean yes tow is unliked in mexico. we're going to be all over this tomorrow while trump the in

going on social media. the hash tag is #trumpinaz. >> trump will fill it up tomorrow. this is a woman in trouble. helen purcell is in a race that no one may be paying attention to. >> we're going to come back and let you know what the numbers show. helen ?

you the knowledge to adjust for the best sleep ever. the time is now for the biggest sale of the year, where all beds are on sale! save 50% on the labor day limited edition bed.

you decide. this is a race that has not gotten a lot of attention. remember the debacle with the presidential preference election back in march? it is having an affect on helen purcell's future. >> people waited two, three, hours. she is up by a hair. >> 500 votes.

years in that position. >> she has to count the ballots. >> not a job she enjoys. she is taking a lot of heat and rightfully soo but the secretary of state has to take some responsibility. >> that's true. she had a perfect election record until the presidential preference election. they did not have enough polling places. >> paul babeu november to face tom o'halleran for the 10th largest congressional district. >> they talk about running for mayor in a huge city. it is so many towns and cities. geographically, it is daunting. >> it has the largest population

to win it, paul babeu or tom o'halleran? >> paul babeu has a name. they have seen him nationally. >> we've got some of the table is set. nicole garcia talked to paul babeu earlier tonight and i guess you caught up with him. >> reporter: paul babeu had& his watch party in casa grande enjoying his victory in a crowded field. there were five candidates vowing for the nomination and he has the double digit lead over the first three so he has a lead over retired air force colonel wendy rogers and rancher gary kiehne. this is his second run for congress. he ran back in 2012 and he had a lot of media attention.

lot of controversies. he ended up dropping out of his bid for congress after a political scandal involving his gay lover. he addressed those issues saying he appreciates the support he has gotten from voters who are able to overlook those controversies and look at his merits and everything he has done as sheriff for pinal county even though there are a lot of attack ads against him. if paul babeu wins ticket, he would be the first elected openly gay republican congressman and he talked about how proud he would be to have that title. >> i'm so proud of republicans who are often described as narrow minded and not tolerant, just the opposite is true. i'm a living, breathing, example that it doesn't matter if you're gay or straight or race or color or gender. what matters is results.

judged on my performance, my merit, and the contributions that i make to my community and country. reporter: the race for the congressional seat is a toss up. it is held by democrat ann kirkpatrick who is vacating the seat to run against senator senator mccain. historically, the seat has been a toss up. this is one seat that the republican party has a get a new house seat. it will be a controversial and competitive race. >> redistricting has given the democrats an edge as far as the registered voters but paul babeu made a comeback from the scandal and he did survive that. maybe came back out of it stronger than ever. >> he owned it. i think back to jim colby who was one of the first republicans to come out and say he was gay

southern and central arizona. he won every race. the voters did not care. >> i think we lost nicole. thank you, nicole. paul babeu will be on the ticket in november versus tom o'halleran. >> one and two, those congressional districts could flip the balance. right now, republicans are 5-4 over democrats in the nine congressional seats could turn 6-3. when we come back, a final check of the numbers in tonight's

i take prilosec otc each morning for my frequent heartburn because you can't beat zero heartburn! ahhh the sweet taste of victory! prilosec otc. one pill each morning. 24 hours. zero heartburn. we have the winners tonight and john mccain, huge victory over kelli ward. he wins with 53% of the vote and

battle ann kirkpatrick. >> they are going to pour so much money into that race. paul babeu is your winner in u.s. house district one beating back a challenge of wendy rogers who won the primary two years ago in district nine. gary kiehne almost won this district two years ago but lost. it is babeu against tom o'halleran, the former republican who is a moderate. he went head-to-head with hardcore republicans in the state house. o'halleran switched parties and will represent democrats in november. >> joe arpaio trounces dan saban. this is the third time dan saban tries to beat joe

district, it could flip. right now, your incumbent is martha mcsally and who will face her in november. matt hines looks like he will win it but matt heinz victoria steele. matt heinz is a doctor, physician, tried to roll out obamacare, helped with that. heinz winning with margin, 6%. >> martha mcsally, remember the last go around. it is the closest congressional race in the country. >> 167 votes. >> i thought it was 121. >> 167 votes. >> it went on and on, the counting. she narrowly won but she has done a pretty good job for the district down there. >> it will be competitive. bottom line tonight, no real surprises as we looked at this,

challenge, no. would sheriff arpaio hold on, dehid -- he did easily. >> matt salmon is vacating the seat. more coming up first thing in the morning on fox 10 azam. >> have a great night. we'll have everything wrapped up, hopefully. sfx: "gulp" what are you doing? sfx: "burp" i'm having a small snack. gross.
