Media: Biden wins in Arizona
Newly elected US President Joe Biden, according to other forecasts, won the elections in the traditionally Republican state of Arizona. After the AP news agency and Fox News television station declared him the winner in Arizona on election night last week, NBC News and CNN stations did the same on Thursday night (local time).
Eleven voters participated in the southwestern state of the United States. Arizona has long been considered a safe bastion for Republicans. Since the 1952 election year, Republican presidential candidates have almost always won there. The exception was the 1996 election year, when Democrat Bill Clinton won there.
Biden has already garnered 290 votes for the December election meeting. 270 of these voters are enough for an electoral victory. Trump currently has 217 voters.
In the states of North Carolina and Georgia, tight races are not yet decided. In North Carolina, Trump is ahead. In Georgia, Biden has an advantage. Due to the adjusted result, the Georgia government has announced that all votes will be counted by hand. However, those responsible for the election do not expect the trend to change fundamentally there.
