2040 United States presidential election in Arizona



The 2040 United States presidential election in Arizona was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2040, as part of the 2040 United States presidential election. The Democratic ticket of former Secretary of State Stacey Abrams and U.S. Senator from New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won the state with 54.93% of the vote and a 12.26% margin of victory, making it the strongest Democratic performance in Arizona in a presidential election since 1944 and the first time Maricopa County gave a Democrat over 60% of the vote in a presidential election since 1940.

Analysis
Arizona, which had been a swing state in presidential elections since the mid-2010s and a Republican stronghold beforehand, voted for Democrat Stacey Abrams by a 12.3% margin, the first double-digit margin of victory for the party in the state since 1944. Arizona was initially considered to be a fairly solid Republican state in 2040, with predicted margins between 6-8% according to most pollsters, before the breaking of the Gary Braun pharmaceutical bribes scandal, which, as in the rest of the country, caused his approval rating and electoral prospects to plummet in the state of Arizona.
