North Carolina Called For Trump In First Swing-State Victory
Former President Donald Trump has been projected to win North Carolina, marking it as the first swing state to be called on election night, according to The Associated Press. With approximately 92% of the votes counted by 11:30 p.m., Trump secured 50.8% of the votes compared to Vice President Kamala Harris, who garnered 48%. This outcome was notable as North Carolina had been regarded as a “toss-up” state since Harris entered the race. Notably, Trump won Anson County, a region that had historically voted Democrat in presidential elections since at least Richard Nixon, with nearly 51% of the votes. This shift signals a change in voter dynamics, particularly since Anson County has a significant Black population that typically leans Democratic. Trump had also previously won North Carolina in the 2016 and 2020 elections.

Trump won Anson County, North Carolina, which has voted Democrat in every presidential race at least since Richard Nixon — and before that, likely since Reconstruction, according to WFAE.

Trump also won North Carolina in 2016 and 2020, Newsweek reported.
