President-elect Donald Trump has officially won the battleground state of Arizona, four days after election day.

The Associated Press called the race there Saturday evening. The win in Arizona gives Trump 11 more electoral votes and bumps up his final total to 312. Vice President Kamala Harris carried the remaining 226 electoral votes.

Trump's Arizona victory means it was a swing state sweep for him. In 2020, Trump lost every swing state except North Carolina, but was able to avenge his losses in the six others in this year's presidential election.

Republicans won Arizona every year since 1996 until President Joe Biden flipped it in 2020. President Biden won the state by less than one-half of 1%.
