Donald Trump Completes Swing-State Sweep With Arizona, Secures 312 Electoral Votes In Big Victory

The win over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris marks Trump’s second in Arizona since 2016.

After a delay in vote counting, Donald Trump is projected to win the final swing state of Arizona. With this, Trump secured 312 electoral votes over his Democratic rival Kamala Harris’ 226 votes, marking a clean sweep in the US election. Arizona holds 11 electoral college votes.

Trump won Arizona, returning the state and its 11 electoral votes to the Republican column after Joe Biden’s 2020 victory, reported AP. The win over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris marks Trump’s second in Arizona since 2016.

In 2020, President Joe Biden became the first Democrat to win Arizona since Bill Clinton in 1996. Trump has now flipped it back.

Trump campaigned on border security and the economy, tying Harris to inflation and record illegal border crossings during Biden’s administration.

Trump’s victory dims the hopes of Arizona Democrats, who sought to continue their ascendance, which began with the 2018 flip of a longtime GOP-held Senate seat and continued in 2020 and 2022.
