Trump sealed his sweep of all seven swing states, obtaining Arizona's 11 electoral votes in another flip of a state that voted for Joe Biden in 2020.

The Associated Press called the race on Saturday night. The outlet shows him with 52.6% of the vote with an estimated 87% of votes counted.

The win brought President-elect Trump to 312 electoral votes, well past the 270 needed for victory, while Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris lagged behind at 226.
