Analysis Summary:

The article has mixed accuracy. The claim about the "deep-blue Arizona district" and Grijalva stepping down is supported by multiple sources. However, the specific number of candidates and their party affiliations running in the primary election requires further verification, as the provided sources do not offer this level of detail. The article exhibits moderate bias through potentially selective reporting and framing the district as "up for grabs."

Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** "Deep-blue Arizona district up for grabs as Grijalva steps down"
