Donald Trump has also won the US presidential election in Arizona and thus in all seven contested states.

This was reported by the AP news agency on the basis of voter surveys and initial vote counts.
Trump has already emerged as the winner of the presidential election because he secured the necessary number of at least 270 electoral votes.
Arizona gives him eleven more electoral votes. This means that the Republican now has a total of 312 electoral votes - and his Democratic opponent Kamala Harris has 226.
The state on the southern border of the USA to the east of California was long regarded as a safe Republican bastion. However, Arizona is now one of the seven so-called swing states that have sometimes voted overwhelmingly for one party and sometimes for the other in past elections.
In 2016, Trump was able to secure Arizona's electoral votes in the race against Democrat Hillary Clinton. In 2020, however, he was defeated there and the electoral votes went to Democrat Joe Biden by a wafer-thin margin.
