The incredibly tight margin in 2020 propelled Arizona to become the hotbed of Trump’s election fraud claims that culminated in the January 6 Capitol riot and ultimately a federal criminal case against the former president around his attempts to overturn the election results.
Jack Smith, the special counsel overseeing the federal case, is said to be evaluating how to wind down this case as well as one related to Trump’s handling of classified documents before his inauguration.
Smith will let the court know his plans for the 2020 election case by early December after assessing “this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy,” he wrote in a November 8 filing. Meanwhile, Trump has vowed mass pardons for those convicted of January 6-related offenses.
On the campaign trail, Trump linked the Biden-Harris administration to inflation and the border crisis in what turned out to be a winning argument for the former president.
As election day crept forward, Harris’ chances of winning came to depend on winning the “blue wall” of Rust Belt battleground states, including Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. But she fell short in all three cases.
