On November 9, American media outlets projected that Mr. Trump would win Nevada, thereby gaining a total of 312 electoral votes.
With the final victory in Arizona, Mr. Trump officially captured all the electoral votes from 7 battleground states this year, overturning the votes of 6 states (except North Carolina) that voted for President Joe Biden in 2020.
Arizona is also the last state to have projected results, although media outlets announced Mr. Trump's victory on November 6. As of the evening of November 9 (US time), Mr. Trump received more than 74 million popular votes, compared to his opponent, Ms. Kamala Harris, who had more than 70 million votes, NBC News reported.
Final electoral vote results between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris
The former US President won 312 electoral votes compared to Ms. Harris's 226. This difference is higher than the 2020 race, when Mr. Joe Biden won 306 votes and Mr. Trump 232 votes, according to CNN.
The vote count is still ongoing and the popular vote will change, but the electoral college results are the prerequisite for victory. Mr. Trump received good news early in the battleground states of North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on November 6, which was enough for him to win 270 electoral votes. In turn, Michigan, Nevada and Arizona also "turned red", choosing the Republican candidate.
The results of the US congressional elections are still incomplete. The Republican Party has determined that it will have a majority in the Senate next term, although the final result is not known. Mr. Trump's party also has an advantage in the House of Representatives with 213 seats, when it needs 218 seats to maintain the majority. The Democratic Party has won 204 seats in the House of Representatives.
