Former President Donald Trump is projected to win Arizona’s 11 electoral votes, flipping a state President Joe Biden won during the 2020 contest. The call was made Saturday night by the Associated Press and other legacy media outlets.

With 87 percent of votes tabulated, preliminary results show Trump with 52.6 percent of the vote, compared to Kamala Harris’ 46.4 percent. According to The New York Times, Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver and Green Party candidate Jill Stein each garnered 0.5 percent of the vote, respectively.

Trump’s victory in the Grand Canyon State means the president-elect officially swept every single battleground state during the 2024 presidential contest.

“GREAT WORK ARIZONA! VICTORY has been SECURED,” the Republican Party of Arizona wrote on X. “Congratulations to our 45th and 47th President of the United States, @realDonaldTrump! TIME TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump’s electoral prospects in the Grand Canyon State were high heading into Election Day. For example, Republicans dramatically expanded their voter registration advantage over Democrats.

According to local media, “registration statistics released [last month] by the Arizona Secretary of State show 1,562,091 registered Republicans and 1,266,536 registered Democrats, nearly a six-point difference between the two parties.” That’s roughly 3 points more than the advantage the GOP enjoyed ahead of the 2020 election when Biden won the state by roughly 11,000 votes.

The winner of the state’s highly contested Senate race between Democrat Ruben Gallego and Republican Kari Lake is still too close to call. According to preliminary results, Gallego leads Lake by 1.5 points, with 87 percent of total votes tabulated.

It also remains unclear which party will assume control of the Arizona State Legislature. As of this article’s publication, unfinished results show House Republicans with 24 seats, House Democrats with 22 seats, with 14 races yet to be called. On the Senate side, where five races are still in limbo, Republicans have won 14 seats, while Democrats have won 11.

Heading into Election Day, Republicans possessed a one-seat majority in both chambers.

The Grand Canyon State’s current governor is Democrat Katie Hobbs, meaning if Democrats win majorities in both chambers, they’ll have trifecta control of Arizona’s government for the first time in more than 30 years.
