Republican also won in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada
The president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, won a significant victory in the state of Arizona, beating Vice President Kamala Harris. With this achievement, he secured victory in all seven swing states that were crucial to the presidential election, according to Associated Press projections, which indicate an advantage of 52.6% for the Republican. Trump’s declaration as the winner came just hours after polls closed on November 5, marking a significant triumph for his campaign.
Trump managed to surpass the Democratic candidate in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada and Arizona, in some of these regions the difference was less than 1 percentage point. In Arizona, Trump’s campaign stood out by focusing on immigration-related issues. The Republican reinforced his proposals for mass deportation and the closure of the border, themes that resonated with both his electoral base and moderate voters concerned about the immigration situation.
Campaign strategists focused their efforts on swing states, since victory in the election is decided by the majority of votes in the Electoral College, which has 538 delegates. The candidate who receives the majority of votes in a state wins all the delegates from that place, which makes these strongholds essential for the final result.
With victories in states such as North Carolina, Georgia and Pennsylvania, Trump approached the goal of 270 delegates needed to secure the presidency. His victory was more robust compared to the 2016 election, when he defeated Hillary Clinton. Furthermore, he also won the popular vote on this occasion.
