The results of the presidential election in America have been declared, but counting of votes was still going on at some places. Arizona was also one of them. Donald Trump also won Arizona in the results announced on Saturday. With this, Donald Trump created history by winning all seven swing states in the presidential elections. Earlier in the 2020 presidential election, the Democrat Party had won in Arizona under the leadership of Joe Biden, but this time the Republican Party, under the leadership of Trump, captured all the 11 electoral votes of this state.
Trump won with more electoral votes than in 2016
The state of Arizona is considered the stronghold of the Republican Party. Joe Biden was only the second Democrat leader in the last 70 years to win Arizona in 2020. Now in 2024, once again the Republican Party has succeeded in saving its stronghold. There are many criminal cases pending against Trump, yet he has won the presidential election with more electoral votes than in 2016. According to the latest figures, Donald Trump has so far received 312 electoral votes, far more than the 270 required to win the race for the White House. Trump got 304 electoral votes in the 2016 elections.
Trump won in all swing states
According to US media, Trump has been declared the winner in more than half of the 50 states, including swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. It is noteworthy that all of them had voted for the Democratic Party in the last elections. Trump also won the swing states of North Carolina and Nevada. Kamala Harris has received 226 electoral votes so far. With Trump's victory, this will be the fourth consecutive time that the White House will be occupied alternately by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. This is the first time since the late 19th century that American voters hand over power to the government of another party after every four-year term.
What are swing states and why are they important?
In America, swing states are those states where the support of parties keeps changing. Meaning, while in many states of America it is known in advance through various surveys, which party will win in these states, in some states there is a very tough competition and any party can have the upper hand there. This is the reason why these states are called swing states and these swing states play an important role in which candidate will win the presidential election. There were seven swing states in the 2024 election, which included Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona. Now in the election results, Trump's victory in all seven swing states is historic.
Presidential elections decide three types of states
Red States: The Republican Party has been winning since 1980.
Blue States: Democrats have dominated since 1992.
Swing State:Give completely different results. Often there is a close contest between Republicans and Democrats in these states. It is these states that decide the electoral fate.
