Donald Trump received Arizona on Saturday, returning the state and its 11 electoral votes to the Republican column after Joe Biden’s 2020 victory.
The win over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris marks Trump’s second in Arizona since 2016. Trump campaigned on border safety and the financial system, tying Harris to inflation and report unlawful border crossings throughout Biden’s administration.
Trump’s victory dims the hopes of Arizona Democrats, who sought to proceed their ascendance, which started with the 2018 flip of a longtime GOP-held Senate seat and continued in 2020 and 2022. Biden was the second Democrat to win Arizona in 70 years. The Related Press declared Trump the winner at 8:21 p.m. CST.
