Trump Projected To Win North Carolina

Former President Donald Trump is projected to win the swing state of North Carolina, securing the state’s 15 Electoral College votes, according to a projection from Decision Desk HQ.

The race was called for Trump with 58% of the vote counted with Trump leading Harris 51.1% to 47.8%. Trump has now secured 210 votes in the Electoral College and only needs 60 more to reach the 270 threshold to be declared the winner.

In 2020, North Carolina was one of the states that former President Donald Trump held from his 2016 presidential victory.

For the last two months, the state has been recovering from devastating storms and historic flooding that it faced in September from Hurricane Helene.

There is no automatic recount that is triggered based on the election results, but a candidate who is behind may request one if they are down by 0.5 percentage points or less of the total number of votes.

Polls leading up to the election showed a tight race between the two candidates, with Trump leading Harris in the RealClearPolitics average by 1.2 points headed into Election Day.

However, those number have decreased by roughly $150 million in 2024, with both parties spending a combined total of $479 million on ads.

For the 2024 presidential race in the state, Democrats outspent Republicans $123 million to $84 million.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
