Donald Trump won Arizona in the presidential election, which means that the Republican emerged victorious in all the key states in the poll, American media reported on Saturday.

After four days of counting, CNN and NBC channels declared Donald Trump the winner of this southwestern state, traditionally Republican but which had narrowly swung in 2020 in favor of Joe Biden.
The Republican has already been declared the winner in the six other key states: Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Nevada.
The 11 electoral votes won in Arizona do not change the outcome of the election but confirm the scale of Donald Trump’s victory against Democrat Kamala Harris.

Donald Trump, who will be inaugurated on January 20, also leads Kamala Harris by almost four million votes in the popular vote, a shock for Democrats pushed into difficult introspection.
If this trend is confirmed at the end of the count, he will be the first Republican president in 20 years to achieve this feat, proving wrong the pollsters who predicted the opposite.
He will be able to rely on the Senate, which the Republicans took back from the Democrats, and possibly on the House of Representatives, where his party is on track to retain the majority.
