Donald Trump has solidified his presidential victory with a decisive win in Arizona, defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the final battleground state of the 2024 election.
With Arizona’s 11 electoral votes, Trump’s total climbs to 312, leaving Harris with 226.
Trump was declared the winner in Arizona late Saturday, as his lead of roughly 185,000 votes placed the state beyond Harris’s reach.
This marks the completion of Trump’s sweep across seven key swing states Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia which were all previously contested.
Arizona, which was flipped by Joe Biden in 2020, has now returned to Trump’s column, further cementing his dominance in these pivotal regions.
Trump’s victory, fueled by significant support from white working-class voters and a growing Hispanic backing, signals a shift to the right for the nation.
His win is accompanied by the GOP’s regain of the Senate and potential control of the House, currently with 212 seats projected. This marks a significant moment in American politics as Trump prepares to implement key economic policies, including raising tariffs and reforming immigration.
In a historic return to the presidency, Trump’s victory despite facing ongoing legal battles and his previous impeachments marks the beginning of a transformative political era. His first official meeting with Joe Biden, scheduled for Wednesday, will begin the transition to his second term, with Biden expected to attend Trump’s inauguration.
As Trump looks ahead, he is also considering several key appointments for his administration, with figures like Ric Grenell and Marco Rubio on the shortlist for top roles.
Trump has also promised significant positions for people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Elon Musk, signaling a major shift in U.S. governance moving forward.
