Donald trump clean sweeps in swing state!

Donald Trump has won Arizona, considered a stronghold of the Republican party, in the US presidential election 2024. Arizona is onsidered a major swing state. With this, after adding 11 electoral votes, Trump's total electoral college vote count has reached 312, which is far ahead of Vice President Kamala Harris's 226 votes. In the last 2020 presidential election, trump lost to Biden by a narrow margin. However, this time Trump's victory not only strengthened it again for the Republicans but also reflects his growing appeal among Hispanic and working class voters.

Apart from Arizona, trump has also won spectacular victories in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and North Carolina. The electoral vote of these states is important for any candidate and their results can be decisive for any president. This victory in Arizona holds special symbolic importance, as it was seen as a strong base for the Democratic party in 2020. Trump's re-election here shows that his major conservative policies and steps taken towards economic stability have gained the support of a large section of voters, which have a great impact especially in the working class and the Hispanic community.

Republicans also secured majority in the Senate

With the victory in America's swing state, the Republicans have also secured a majority in the Senate, where they have captured 52 seats compared to the Democrats' 47 seats. This is a major change in the balance of power, which will play an important role in future policy making and budget allocation. This dominance of the Republicans on Congress will also prove to be very helpful in fulfilling Trump's plans, which can increase the impact of his policies.

Possibility of Republican majority

There is a possibility of Republican majority in the house of Representatives as well. According to CNN, the GOP has won 213 seats, which is just 5 seats away from the required majority of 218. If this trend continues, Republicans can be expected to remain dominant in congress as well, which will prove helpful in rapidly implementing the policies of the trump administration.
