Trump wins North Carolina, Republicans take Senate; Harris' path to victory narrows

In a close U.S. presidential race, Donald Trump has won North Carolina over Kamala Harris, bringing him closer to a potential comeback.

Trump currently leads with 230 Electoral College votes to Harris's 169, needing 270 to secure victory.

Despite uncertainty in six key states, Trump's support has grown since 2020, particularly among Hispanic voters and those facing economic challenges.

Meanwhile, Trump’s accusations of election interference and Harris’s warnings about democracy's future reflect deep national polarization.

Both campaigns have faced intense, historic moments, including President Biden’s unexpected withdrawal and assassination attempts on Trump.

If victorious, Harris would make history as the first female and Black woman president, while Trump could become the first president to win non-consecutive terms in over a century.
