Donald Trump just secured himself another crucial state on his way to the White House by winning Arizona. This is a change from 2020, where the typically red state voted in Biden’s favor. Politico reports that President-elect Trump, who currently, with Arizona’s 11 Electoral College votes, has 312 total, has procured every battleground state this election. This list of seven includes Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
