However, Biden is still not that close to the presidency, according to the calculations of other media outlets, such as the “New York Times” and the NBC and CNN networks, which have not yet they consider the Democratic victory in Arizona, which has the weight of 11 votes, to be final.
The AP explains that in the early hours of Wednesday it projected Biden winner in Arizona because he had 5 percentage points more than Donald Trump (130 thousand votes) and 80% of the total had been counted.
A demographic shift in recent years, including the rapidly growing Latin population and an increase in the number of new residents – some fleeing the high cost of living in neighboring California – have made the state, a historic Republican stronghold, more favorable to Democrats.
Many of the Democratic gains were driven by the political change in Maricopa County, which is home to Phoenix and its suburbs. It was there that, for the AP, Biden sealed his victory. Maricopa County accounts for 60% of the state’s votes, and Biden obtained huge margins there. When the AP gave Biden the victory, he led with 9 percentage points in that region.
