About 2020 United States presidential election in Arizona in brief
The 2020 United States presidential election in Arizona was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, as part of the 2020 U.S presidential election. Arizona voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote, pitting the Republican Party’s nominee, incumbent President Donald Trump, and running mate Vice President Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Vice President Joe Biden. Biden ultimately won the state by a narrow 0. 31% margin over Trump, marking the first time since 1996, and only the second time since 1948, that a Democratic presidential nominee won Arizona. Trump had carried the state in 2016 by 3. 5%, and it was considered a vital battleground in this election. Both candidates spent massive amounts of money on ads, however Biden outspent Trump 2-1. On September 9, 2019, the Arizona Republican Party became one of several state GOP parties to officially cancel their respective primaries and caucuses.
At the Arizona State Republican Convention in May 2020, the state party formally bound all 57 of its national pledged delegates to Trump. The Arizona Democratic primary took place on March 17, 2020. In one of the more controversial stories of the election, Fox News called the election for Biden at 11: 20 p.m. EST on November 3. The Associated Press did so at 2: 2: 50 m. ET on November 4, with 73% of projected vote counted. Fox News received a seven-point push back from the Trump campaign and no other network called Arizona on election night on November 11, saying that that was not going to be able to take enough votes to eliminate that seven point lead.
