Arizona was won by Columbia University President Dwight D. Eisenhower (R–New York), running with California Senator Richard Nixon, with 58.35% of the popular vote, against Adlai Stevenson (D–Illinois), running with Alabama Senator John Sparkman, with 41.65% of the popular vote.[4][5]
With his win in the state, Eisenhower became the first Republican presidential candidate since Herbert Hoover in 1928 to win the state.
This election would signal the beginning of a long Republican dominance in elections in Arizona, where Republicans won every single presidential election in the state save 1996, where there was a significant third party vote, and Republicans would hold at least one Senate seat, that would finally end in 2020, when Joe Biden won the state, and Arizona elected a second Democratic senator for the first time since this election.
