PHOENIX — Donald Trump reclaimed Arizona’s 11 electoral votes on Saturday, marking his victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race. Four years after narrowly losing Arizona as the first Republican to do so since 1996, Trump’s projected win adds to his sweeping success across all seven battleground states in this election.
The Associated Press called Arizona for Trump after sustained leads since election night, with the latest figures showing him ahead of Harris by 52.6%-46.4% — a margin of nearly 185,000 votes, according to the Arizona Secretary of State’s results.
Trump Sweeps Key Battlegrounds
With Arizona and Nevada secured, Trump’s electoral vote count rose to 312, surpassing his 2016 total of 304 against Hillary Clinton. His success in Arizona, along with wins in other battlegrounds such as Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, led media outlets to call the overall race in his favor earlier in the day.
Arizona’s Role in the 2024 Election
As a former Democratic win in 2020, Arizona was a focal point for both campaigns this cycle. Trump’s victory in Arizona underscores his strong showing in critical swing states, marking a decisive return to the White House.
