Four major US news agencies simultaneously identified Joe Biden as the winner in Arizona, nine days after Election Day.
CNN, NBC News, MSNBC, New York Times on 11/12 simultaneously announced predictions of Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump in Arizona, when 98% of the votes were counted.
According to the latest results of the vote count, Biden received 1,668,684 votes from the state of Arizona, equivalent to 49.4%, while President Donald Trump received 1,657,250 votes, equivalent to 49.06%.
The results of the counting of votes in the state of Arizona used to be the focus of public opinion, after Fox News and the AP “named” Biden as the winner in this state on the night of November 3, when 73% were counted. of the votes. . Trump and his aides immediately expressed their anger at the news, after moments of optimism with victory on the Florida state battlefield.
The rest of the news agencies at the time expressed caution, claiming that the difference between the two candidates in Arizona was too close to announce the winner. Many Trump supporters have also flocked to polling stations in Arizona, demanding a recount of all votes, hoping the president will turn the tables.
Renowned national media outlets in the US have traditionally produced forecasts of state winners, based on their election data and in-depth analysis. Winning candidates will be “called up” when companies believe the competitor cannot get enough votes to reach them.
With the four remaining media outlets identifying Biden as the winner of 11 electoral votes in Arizona, the chances that Trump will reverse the situation in the election are slimmed down. Trump currently has 217 electoral votes, while Biden has at least 290 votes.

This is the second time in more than 70 years that a Democratic presidential candidate has won in Arizona, once the stronghold of the Republican Party, since Harry Truman’s victory in 1948. Bill Clinon once won. in 1996, but Arizona has leaned more and more to the right over the past two decades.
Biden’s victory also made Arizona the first to switch sides among the states that achieved President Trump’s victory in 2016. There are three factors that are believed to make the change in Arizona, namely the increase in the number of Latino supporters of the Democratic Party, the increase in the number of voters from green states like California and Illinois moving to Arizona and the increase in voters. the suburbs turn their backs on Trump.
The Arizona case is very similar to neighboring Nevada in the Northwest, where Democrats have also gained control of almost every aspect of government and reversed their tradition in favor of the right. Biden won six electoral votes in Nevada on November 7, along with 16 in Pennsylvania, to beat Trump, becoming the 46th president-elect.
President Trump has declared not to accept the election results and is suing in six states on allegations of fraud. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a member of the Republican Party, said on November 11 that Trump was unlikely to win in the state and denied widespread allegations of voter fraud.
He noted that the Trump campaign lawsuit against Maricopa County was based on denied conspiracy theories that nearly 200 ballots filled with dialer were disabled due to unreadable counting machines.
“There is no evidence, there is no real information to believe that the election results will change,” Brnovich said, noting that Republicans have won many important victories in the local race. “If there was a big conspiracy, it would have failed.”
