US PRESIDENT ELECTED Joe Biden won the state of Arizona, several US networks said today, further consolidating his leadership in the Electoral College and changing to the state Democrat for the first time since 1996.
NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN declared Biden the winner in the tight race with an advantage of more than 11,000 votes, earning him 11 electoral votes in the state.
Fox News and The Associated Press rated the race in the southwestern state in favor of Biden on election night, drawing the ire of President Donald Trump, but the other outlets did not declare a winner until after nine days of recount. of votes.
Arizona gives Biden a 290-217 lead over Trump in the Electoral College who ultimately decides the presidency, with 270 needed to win the White House.
Despite Biden being declared the winner of the election on Saturday, Trump has refused to budge and continues to make unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud.
The races in North Carolina and Georgia have yet to be called (Trump is ahead in the first and Biden narrowly in the second).
