While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have historically voted for Republicans by and large, some Mormons‘ distaste for former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric has peeled back the once reliably Republican voting bloc.  

As of 2022, there are over 439,000 Mormons living in Arizona, a key swing state that both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are courting. In 2020, President Joe Biden flipped the state blue by a little under 11,000 votes, marking the first time since 1996 that Arizona awarded its electoral votes to a Democrat.
