🚨 BREAKING: AP Calls Race: Donald Trump Wins North Carolina
Former President Donald Trump has secured a win in the key battleground state of North Carolina, defeating Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and claiming the state’s 16 electoral votes. Trump previously won North Carolina in both 2016 and 2020. Despite heavy spending, extensive canvassing, and rallies led by Harris, Democrats had hoped to reverse past results by associating Trump with embattled Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson. However, Trump and his running mate JD Vance made frequent campaign visits to North Carolina in the fall, focusing on a protectionist economic message and pledging tougher measures on immigration and border security. The Associated Press announced Trump's victory at 11:18 p.m. EST.
