Donald Trump wins Arizona sweeping all 7 swing states in US presidential polls
Washington DC/IBNS: Republican candidate Donald Trump won Arizona on Saturday, clinching a clean sweep in all seven swing states in the recently concluded US Presidential elections.
He ensured the 11 electoral votes to the Republican column after Democrat Joe Biden's 2020 victory.
Trump's win over Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris marks the 78-year-old's second victory in Arizona since 2016.
According to the latest figures, Trump has bagged 312 electoral votes, well past the required 270 to win the White House.
During his successful presidential campaign in 2016, he received 304 electoral votes.
Trump has won more than half of the 50 states, including swing states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all of which voted Democratic in the last election.
He also won the battleground states of North Carolina and Nevada.
As per the last update, Harris has managed to win 226 electoral votes after making a wild card entrant in the elections after Joe Biden decided to opt out after stumbling in his debate with Trump.
Donald Trump, who had a career spanning from being a business tycoon to a TV personality, has won back the White House once again in a historic US election, becoming not just the 47th American President but also the oldest POTUS to hold the office during his inauguration.
The 78-year-old's campaign as a Republican nominee for one of the most powerful positions in the world has been a dramatic one, especially after he survived two assassination attempts.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden, who promised a smooth transition of power after accepting the decision of the country, will meet Trump at the Oval Office on Wednesday.
