Donald Trump has won the presidential election in Arizona, Edison Research projected, completing a sweep of all seven battleground states and locking in a decisive Electoral College victory over Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The Republican, who had secured the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House by early on Wednesday, now has what is expected to be a final total of 312 votes to Ms Harris's 226.
In addition to Arizona, Mr Trump won the swing states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada.
In 2020, Joe Biden defeated Mr Trump by winning six of the seven swing states and narrowly losing North Carolina and won 306 Electoral College votes to Mr Trump's 232.
The president-elect also won 306 Electoral College votes in his 2016 victory over Hillary Clinton.
The Associated Press said Mr Trump has won 74.6 million votes nationwide, or 50.5%, to Ms Harris's 70.9 million, or 48%.
After Congress certifies the Electoral College vote on 6 January, Mr Trump and his incoming vice president, US Senator JD Vance, are due to take office on 20 January.
Trump rules out Pompeo, Haley from new White House team
Mr Trump earlier ruled out re-appointing two senior figures from his first administration, ex-secretary of state Mike Pompeo and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley.
Writing on his Truth Social network, Mr Trump said he "will not be inviting" either figure to join his administration as speculation swirls about the identity of his new team.
Mr Pompeo had outlined a hawkish plan for Ukraine in July involving more weapons transfers and tough action against Russia's energy sector, which analysts noted was at odds with the president-elect's campaign statements.
Mr Trump has repeatedly boasted that he could end the war in Ukraine in his first 24 hours in power and criticised US aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
Ms Haley ran against Mr Trump in the Republican primary this year before endorsing him, but she offered at times blunt advice such as urging the Republican presidential nominee to "quit whining" about Democrat candidate Kamala Harris in August.
"I very much appreciated working with them previously and would like to thank them for their service to our country," Mr Trump wrote.
The Republican has made one cabinet appointment so far, naming his campaign manager Susie Wiles, who he calls "ice baby" due to her supposedly unflappable temperament, as his White House chief of staff.
Ms Wiles is the first woman to be named to the crucial White House gatekeeper role.
