After the Secretary of State’s office released the final list of ballots counted on Wednesday evening, which included many of the ballots cast on Election Day, Decision Desk headquarters announced (at an estimated 70 percent) that Republican nominee Donald Trump will do so win in Arizona in the 2024 elections. At the time of writing, he is defeating Democratic candidate Kamala Harris 52.1 percent to 47 percent.
On Tuesday evening, the former (now elected) president secured more than enough votes nationwide to win back the White House in the election. As I wrote, shortly after his election victory was announced, Trump addressed his supporters in West Palm Beach, Florida, and promised to be the president of all Americans.
