Arizona has been a historically Republican-leaning state in presidential elections, with a few exceptions that have shaped its political landscape over the years. In the 2020 election, Arizona made headlines by voting for a Democratic candidate for the first time since 1996, when Bill Clinton secured a narrow victory over Republican Bob Dole.
Former President Donald Trump, who won Arizona in 2016 by a significant margin, faced a tighter race in 2020 and ultimately lost the state to Joe Biden by a slim margin of 0.3%. This marked a significant shift in Arizona's political preferences and highlighted the state's evolving demographics and voter sentiments.
