Arizona swung red in the final result of the US presidential election, bringing president-elect Donald Trump to 312 electoral votes, well past the 270 needed for victory, while Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris lagged behind at 226, US networks said.
Trump sealed his sweep of all seven swing states, obtaining Arizona’s 11 electoral votes in another flip of a state that voted for Joe Biden in 2020.
