Mr. Trump won all the battleground states.

US media reported yesterday that Republican candidate Donald Trump won Arizona, the last state with projected results in this year's US presidential election. Mr. Trump is said to have won 312 electoral votes compared to 226 votes for Democratic candidate - Vice President Kamala Harris. This gap is higher than the 2020 race, when President Joe Biden got 306 votes and Mr. Trump got 232 votes, according to CNN.

Mr. Trump campaigned in Arizona on October 13.

"Redization" successful

With the victory, Mr. Trump officially captured all the electoral votes from 7 battleground states this year, reversing the results in 6 states (except North Carolina) that voted for Mr. Biden in 2020. Arizona is also the last state with projected results, although media outlets announced Mr. Trump's victory on November 6 and President Biden and Vice President Harris both called the president-elect.

Mr. Trump won all 7 battleground states, finishing with 312 votes.

In 2020, Mr. Biden won Arizona by just 10,000 popular votes. Since the 1940s, the Democratic Party has won Arizona only twice, with the other being Bill Clinton's victory in 1996. According to The New York Times , Mr. Trump won Arizona partly because he won support from independent voters, in addition to Latino voters - a fast-growing and key part of the election here.

Mr. Trump received good news early in the battleground states of North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on November 6, helping him reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win the election. In turn, the states of Michigan, Nevada, and Arizona also "turned red," choosing the Republican candidate.

As of yesterday, Mr. Trump won more than 74 million popular votes, compared to Ms. Harris's more than 70 million votes, according to NBC News. The vote count continues, but the results of the electoral college vote are the decisive condition for victory. The Republican Party is determined to have a majority in the Senate next term, while also dominating the House of Representatives with a ratio of 213 - 204 seats. Just 5 more seats and the Republicans will also win the House of Representatives.

Consider staffing

Mr. Trump is currently meeting with potential candidates to appoint to the new administration after January 20, 2025. He said that former US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will not be invited to participate. According to The New York Times , this means excluding two figures who advocate support for Ukraine, while Mr. Trump wants to cut aid to allies and reduce military involvement abroad. Reuters reported on November 9 that Mr. Trump met with famous investor Scott Bessent, who is likely to be nominated as finance minister. Mr. Bessent is the founder of Key Square Group, specializing in global macro investments. The finance minister is an important position in the cabinet, with great influence on economics, management and international affairs.

On the same day, CNN cited four sources as saying that Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri was one of the names at the top of the list of candidates for attorney general.

Mr. Schmitt helped Mr. Trump prepare for the debates with Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, spoke at the Republican National Convention and also appeared at the Mar-a-Lago resort (Florida) with Mr. Trump on election night.

So far, Mr. Trump has only said that he will appoint his campaign manager, Ms. Susie Wiles, as White House chief of staff. Regarding the position of secretary of state, CBS quoted sources saying that Mr. Trump is considering Senator Marco Rubio from Florida and former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell, among other candidates.
