Trump has yet to concede defeat and said he will go to court. Without presenting evidence, the current president complains of an alleged fraud in the investigation of some states in which he lost. But so far, no official has reported any irregularities in the vote count.
The Associated Press news agency had already declared Biden the winner in Arizona on the 5th, but other outlets, such as CNN television and The New York Times, still considered the dispute open until yesterday.
The projection of the result made by statisticians at the service of institutes and the media is not official, but has historically been accepted by American society in presidential elections (understand how it works).
With 99% of the votes projected in Arizona, Biden has 49.41% of the votes and Trump, 49.07% (difference of 0.34 percentage points). Now, only North Carolina and Georgia continue with the investigation still open.
Biden is the second Democrat to win in the state since 1948, when Harry Truman won. In 1996, Bill Clinton also got a small lead and took the state’s votes to the Electoral College.

The Republican leads by 1.3 percentage points in North Carolina (50.03% to 48.73%) and the Democrat leads by 0.28 points in Georgia (49.52% to 49.24%).
Biden has 290 votes in the Electoral College, 20 more than it takes to be declared president number 46 of the United States. Trump has 217 delegates and, with the defeat, he became the first president not to be reelected since 1992.
If both results are confirmed, the final score in the Electoral College will be 306 delegates for the Democrat against 232 for the Republican. In 2016, Trump defeated Hillary Clinton by exactly the same score.
