Is Trump turning Arizona blue?

It makes sense that Arizona might vote for Joe Biden over President Trump in 2020. But what about Elizabeth Warren? For a candidate who wants to nationalize one-fifth of the economy with a "Medicare For all" bill that all but bans private health insurance and enacts free college following the mass cancellation of student debt?
According a new Phoenix-based poll, it's possible. Warren and Trump are now in a virtual tie in the Grand Canyon State.
Trump beat Hillary Clinton by a little more than 4.5% in 2016, halving Mitt Romney's nine point lead from four years prior. According to the latest poll, Biden would beat Trump by two points, and Trump would lose to Warren by one.

I wouldn't blame Trump for that, but then I'm not a member of the press.

So, in fact he might have.
They are still counting ballots.
But what a debacle.
As I understand it, COVID took Trump down. He still got a pile of votes....but it may not just be enough.
Fox called it for Biden early and really irritated a lot of people.
The last I read, Nate Silver said to many called it to early and is not saying they should retract those calls.
The last I looked Trump is 30K with 10% outstanding. I don't know what those numbers mean.
But it should not have been this close.
