Donald Trump secured a victory in Arizona on Saturday, completing his sweep of all seven swing states in the November 5 US presidential election. With this win, Trump retained Arizona and its 11 electoral votes, reversing the outcome of the state’s 2020 result, when Democrat Joe Biden emerged victorious.

This marks Trump's second win in Arizona since his 2016 campaign, where he also triumphed in the state. As of now, he has accumulated 312 electoral votes, far surpassing the 270 needed to win the presidency. In comparison, he received 304 electoral votes in his first successful bid for the White House in 2016.

US media outlets have declared Trump the winner in over half of the 50 states, including key battlegrounds like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin—states that had previously voted for Democrats in 2020. Additionally, Trump triumphed in North Carolina and Nevada. His margin of victory was larger this time, despite facing a criminal conviction and two impeachments during his time in office.

In contrast, Kamala Harris, who replaced 81-year-old Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee in July, currently has 226 electoral votes.

Trump's victory means that control of the White House will continue to alternate between Republican and Democratic presidents for the fourth consecutive term—a level of partisan volatility not seen since the late 19th century.

Following Biden’s decision to step aside due to concerns over age, Trump is preparing for his second term and has begun assembling his administration. Susie Wiles, his campaign manager, has been named White House Chief of Staff, making her the first woman to hold the role. Other potential candidates for key positions in Trump’s second term include Elon Musk, who could help audit government waste, former ambassador Ric Grenell, a potential Secretary of State, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who may play a major role in healthcare policy.
