In a decisive outcome, Arizona turned red in the final count of the U.S. presidential election, awarding President-elect Donald Trump 11 electoral votes and boosting his total to 312, well above the 270 needed to claim victory.
Democratic Vice President, Kamala Harris, Trump’s main opponent, trailed with 226 electoral votes, according to U.S. network projections.
Trump’s win in Arizona completed a sweep of all seven key swing states, underscoring a significant shift as the state joined other battlegrounds such as Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, which had all supported Joe Biden in 2020.
This dramatic change signals a shift in voter sentiment, with many Americans resonating with Trump’s platform focused on economic recovery, national security, and a reduced involvement in foreign conflicts.
With Arizona’s turn, Trump has now been declared the winner in more than half of the 50 states, cementing his return to the White House.
The list of states won by each candidate and their respective electoral votes reflects projections by major U.S. media outlets including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC/NBC News, ABC, and CBS.
