As much as Arizona is identified with one of the great natural wonders, the Grand Canyon state most recently is a marvel of human endeavor: Its gross domestic product expanded 32% since 2021, marking the first time that growth has surpassed the rest of the US when measured on an annual basis, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
This economic superlative isn't in any print, digital or broadcast media, which is why any appreciation of the Arizona boom doesn't appear in polls showing Joe Biden a few points behind Donald Trump in this critical state in their November rematch for a second term as president.
