Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden won in Arizona, which was classified as a contested state as a result of the US presidential election. Of the six races swept by President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, Arizona is the only candidate that Biden has won in this presidential election so far. An analysis is emerging as to whether it is the “McKane effect.”
At 7:30 p.m. on the fourth day (Korean time), candidate Biden is ahead of President Trump (46.8%) in Arizona with 51.8% of the vote. The Associated Press and Fox News classified it as “Candidate Biden won.” Arizona was where President Trump won 48.1% during the 2016 presidential election, beating Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton (44.6%) by 3.5 percentage points.
The US media believe that Biden’s propaganda in Arizona was influenced by a tribute to former Senator John McCain. Former Congressman McCain, who died of a brain tumor in August 2018, served as a Senator and House of Representatives in Arizona for 36 years. As a hero of the Vietnam War, he was a conventional enough Republican to run in the 2008 presidential election as a Republican candidate. During his life, former Congressman McCain had clashed with President Trump several times and displayed an ‘anti-Trump propensity’. President Trump didn’t even make a commemorative statement after McCain’s death.
However, former Congressman McCain has maintained a cross-party friendship with candidate Biden. He encouraged Biden to run in the 2016 presidential election when he was fighting a sick horse, and his wife, Cindy, supported Biden in the presidential election and joined the procurement team’s advisory committee in September. The British Independent analyzed that “Arizona voters, regardless of party, have loyalty to McCain.” In the end, the ‘McKane perfume’ in Arizona worked positively for Biden. The change in the distribution of the population in Arizona is also one of the antecedents in which Biden was successful. Arizona has been a Republican garden since 1952, but the recent increase in the Hispanic population has strengthened Democratic support. According to the United States Department of Commerce, the Hispanic population in the region was 688333 in the 1990s, but in 2000 it had increased to 1.29 million and to 189.5149 in 2010. In the case of last year, the 82.6% of Whites, 31.7% of Hispanics, 5.2% of Blacks, and 3.7% of Asians were racial. Reporter Seol Lee [email protected]
