Progressive TikTok ‘Star’ Gets Crushed In Election Bid

Progressive influencer Deja Foxx just got crushed in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, losing by more than 40 points in a blowout that stunned far-left activists.

The Associated Press called the race for 54-year-old Adelita Grijalva with only 65% of the vote counted.

Grijalva, a Pima County Supervisor and daughter of the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, won with 62% of the vote, Trending Politics Foxx, a 25-year-old digital celebrity with nearly 400,000 TikTok followers, came in at just 21%.

The result was a reality check for progressives hoping to replace a political dynasty with a social media star. Foxx had high-profile endorsements from David Hogg and the PAC “Leaders We Deserve.”

She only became eligible for Congress in April. Her campaign leaned heavily on her “lived experience,” highlighting a childhood in Section 8 housing, dependence on food stamps, and early activism for abortion access.

But it did not work. Grijalva was the clear favorite from the start, backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Arizona Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego. Her name, funding, and party support helped her cruise to victory. Foxx tried to frame the loss as a moral win.

“I couldn’t be prouder of what we built together,” she said. She talked about starting “alone in her bedroom” and building a movement that “shattered expectations.”
