Trump Campaign Tries to Hold on to Reliably Republican Arizona

Steve Herman

   WHITE HOUSE - "If we win this state, we win it all," U.S. President
   Donald Trump declared Monday at a political rally in the state of
   Arizona, which has 11 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win the
   presidency.

   Trump won the state by 4 percentage points in 2016.

   "We're in first place in Arizona," Trump said at the political rally in
   Prescott, his first of two during the day in the southwestern state,
   two weeks before the general election.

   An average of major polls that have been released this month shows
   Democratic Party nominee Joe Biden leading in Arizona by about 3
   percentage points -- within the margin of error for most surveys,
   meaning that political observers regard the race as virtually tied.
