Looking back on the 2020 Presidential race, Joe Biden won Arizona and its 11 Electoral College votes with 52% of the vote. The Associated Press called the race for Biden at 12:51 a.m. with him leading former President Donald Trump by five points with 97% of precincts reporting.
Trump received 47% of the vote and Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen received 1% of the vote.
The Associated Press said it declared the race "after an analysis of ballots cast statewide concluded there were not enough outstanding to allow Trump to catch up."
"With 80% of the expected vote counted, Biden was ahead by 5 percentage points, with a roughly 130,000-vote lead over Trump and about 2.6 million ballots counted," the news desk said in an article.
"The remaining ballots left to be counted, including mail-in votes in Maricopa County, where Biden performed strongly, were not enough for Trump to catch up to the former vice president."
