Trump is on his way to win the Election Day votes in Arizona “by a wide margin” and only a huge support from early ballots yet to be counted may help Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, said New York Times Chief Political Analyst Nate Cohn.
“The Arizona early vote has been counted, and it shows a very close race, but Trump will probably win the Election Day vote by a wide margin. To have any chance of winning the state, Harris would need a decisive victory in the late mail ballots tabulated after Election Day,” said Cohn in analysis in The Times.
Trump is ahead in Arizona in the votes counted so far, as per the Associated Press.
The AP has so far called the race for 230 Electoral College votes for Trump for 209 votes for Harris. They need 270 votes to win.
