North Carolina Election Day 2024 results: Donald Trump is projected to win North Carolina, close to the threshold needed to claim the White House

ABC News projected that former President Donald Trump won North Carolina, a key battleground state.

“Congratulations to President Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance on their historic victory in North Carolina,” said Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley. “After four years of failed leadership by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, North Carolinians have come out in droves to restore a strong economy, a secure border and peace through strength under President Trump. It’s clearer than ever: North Carolina is Trump country.”

North Carolina was a critical state for both candidates. Harris, Trump, and their running mates have visited North Carolina numerous times, including in the final days before Election Day.

Trump’s victory is a serious blow to the Democrats’ path to 270 electoral votes.

On October 30, Trump organized a rally in Rocky Mount while working to support battlefield support in North Carolina. He told the crowd “The fate of our nation is in your hands. And this is a very important state.”

On Monday, Trump rallied voters at Raleigh’s Dorton Arena.

Trump has now carried the state for three election cycles, defeating Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.
