Biden Is Projected To Be The President-Elect. Here’s How It All Went Down.
The bottom line is that Trump now trails by 20,573 votes in Arizona, or 0.6 percentage points, per ABC News. This leaves Trump still just in range of possibly overtaking Biden as the final votes are reported from the state. Projection purgatory.
Looks like Trump won the new batch of ballots from Maricopa County by 15.6 points — 56.4 percent to 40.8 percent — which is not bad but slightly less than the pace he needed. This makes his path back harder in Arizona, though I wouldn’t say insurmountable.
Another small update from Arizona, this one from Yuma County, where a batch favorable to Biden (52 percent to 47 percent) narrowed Trump’s gap slightly in the county, though he still leads by about 4,000 votes. Biden’s statewide lead is about 28,000. Trump won the county by 560 votes in 2016.
