Donald Trump takes Arizona in swing state clean sweep
Donald Trump has won Arizona, completing yet another swing state victory and adding 11 electoral votes to his column.
After four days of counting in the south-west state, US media called the win on Saturday night.
Arizona is now the seventh and final state Mr Trump has won back for the GOP, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina and Nevada, which he took on Saturday.
In 2020, Mr Trump lost the battleground state, which he won in 2016, to president Joe Biden. Arizona went on to have a Democratic governor and senators.
Before 2020, the state had been a GOP stronghold. Immigration and border security were key issues during the 2024 election, with Arizona boasting the fourth-largest Hispanic voting population. Mr Trump visited during his recent campaign and turned the tide.
Mr Trumpâs electoral vote count currently stands at 312 over Ms Harrisâ 226 - which is 42 more than he needed to secure the White House for a second term.
The Republicans have also regained control of the Senate and look likely to retain a majority in the House of Representatives.
The latest good news for Mr Trump came as the White House confirmed Mr Biden would meet with the president-elect at the White House on Wednesday.
This type of meeting between the outgoing and incoming presidents is considered customary, but Mr Trump did not invite Mr Biden for one after making unsubstantiated election fraud claims that culminated in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot.
Mr Trump also broke with precedent by skipping Mr Bidenâs inauguration, but the White House has said Mr Biden will attend the upcoming ceremony.
