AZ Votes 2024: Election night results and analysis special

More from this show

In this post-election special, we analyzed early results as they came in with four political consultants.

Joining us were Jason Barraza of the consulting firm Veridus, Bob Charles of First Strategic Communications, consultant Lorna Ferguson and Lorenzo Sierra of Matters of State Strategies to give us their take on election day results.

Most major news publications had declared Donald Trump the next President-elect of the United States. A key factor in calling this victory came from wins in five key battleground states: Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and North Carolina.
