The final result of the US presidential elections held on November 3 is 306 electoral votes for Democrat Joe Biden and 232 for Republican President Donald Trump.

The latest projections from the mainstream media came between Thursday night and this Friday at noon (US time) in the three States that remained to be adjudicated, where the differences have been minimal.

Trump is the 10th president in history to lose reelection and the first in this century.

Nine days after the US presidential elections, this Thursday night all the major media were finally in a position to mathematically project Joe Biden's victory in the State of Arizona.

The margin is minimal, 0.36%, which translated into just 11,000 votes difference out of a total of 3.3 million.

However, the mathematical models of NBC, CNN and

considered that the trend makes it impossible for Donald Trump to turn the result around.

The Associated Press,

and Fox News gave Arizona to Biden on the same election night, but the extremely narrow voting margin had prevented consensus until now.

On Friday at noon, the same projection models finally gave the victory to Biden in Georgia by just 0.3% of the vote and Trump in North Carolina with a 1.3% advantage.

The States are already certifying their elections these days and will finish doing so on December 10.

Biden's final victory leaves a map on which Democrats have turned upside down no less than five states won by Trump in 2016: Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona.

Additionally, Biden has gotten more than five million votes than Trump.

Trump's aspirations to take the result to court, or to convince Americans that it has been a tight election that has fallen from the Democratic side due to bad arts, almost definitely moved away this Friday in the face of the final map.

Biden hasn't just reclaimed the so-called

of the Midwestern industrial states, whose union base had been loyal to Democrats until Trump arrived.

It has also turned around, if only by the slightest, two traditionally Republican states, a victory that sends worrying signals about the future of Trump's party.

Joe Biden is the first Democrat to win in Arizona since 1996. That year, Bill Clinton claimed the traditionally Republican state, home to Barry Goldwater, but it was because a third candidate split the Republican vote.

Before Clinton, Arizona had not voted for a Democrat since Harry Truman in 1948. In the case of Georgia, that southern state had not voted Democratic since Clinton in 1992, and basically because of the same phenomenon of division of the Conservative vote.

Before that, Georgia had voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter (1976 and 1980), because he was a senator for that state.

The southern United States stopped voting for Democrats in the 1960s.

Biden's victory in Arizona has a special meaning.

This has been an objective of the Democrats for a decade, when through immigrant organizations and unions they began to register and massively mobilize a Mexican-American population that until then had lived on the margins of politics.

Today, the Latino electorate reaches almost 1.2 million, 23% of the Arizona electoral census, a percentage higher than Nevada or Colorado.

Apart from the Mexican-American vote, Biden has had the help, yet to be quantified, of a Republican sector that broke with Trump for his insults to Senator John McCain, a true political myth in Arizona.

Since the summer, posters of "Republicans for Biden" could be seen in Phoenix, a phenomenon of rejection of the president that has not occurred so openly in other states.

The senator's own widow, Cindy McCain, the matriarch of the Arizona Republican Party, publicly endorsed Biden, has campaigned for him and is a member of his transition team.

Biden and McCain were friends in the Senate.

Arizona was also the last Republican jewel of the West, where all states with a certain weight of population have been falling on the Democratic side in a consistent trend for 25 years.

The Latino, young and urban population made California a Democrat at the turn of the century, and then the phenomenon was repeated in Nevada and Colorado.

With Arizona, which had not voted Democratic this century, falls one of the most treasured pieces of Republicans in the West.

Neither Nevada, nor Colorado, nor California have turned back after voting Democratic.

In Georgia, Biden has achieved a historic victory thanks to years of mobilizing the African American vote.

The main person in charge of organizing that community has been Stacey Abrams.

Following her failed bid for governor in 2018, Abrams initiated the movement that has cemented a Democratic victory from which both parties will draw lessons.

Added to Biden's victory in Arizona is astronaut Mark Kelly, who was running for the Senate as a Democrat and who won his seat by a greater margin than Biden.

Arizona did not have two Democratic senators at the same time since the 1950s. Kelly will take office at the end of November, replacing Republican Martha McSally, who was not elected, but was appointed by the governor to fill the John McCain seat.

Now, it will be occupied by a Democrat.

In Georgia, the Democratic mobilization has allowed to aspire to the two seats of the Senate by that State.

The Democratic candidates have not won, but they have managed to force second rounds to be held on January 5.

Thanks to that, and the victories in Arizona and Colorado, Republican control of the Senate is up in the air.
