Mo Green wins race for superintendent of public instruction

Democrat Mo Green will be the supervisor of the state's public school system.
Green defeats conservative Michele Morrow. 
Education and parental rights have become a major sticking point in Republican-majority states, including North Carolina, where efforts to limit teachings on race and gender identity have advanced.

Trump talks about his assassination attempt

Trump just briefly mentions the assassination attempt he suffered in July, which he survived after a bullet grazed his ear during a campaign rally.

He tells the crowd that his life was “saved for a reason,” a suggestion he made throughout his campaign.

Trump says he will bring “every drop of spirit and fight” to the White House, and that being president is the “most important job in the world.” As a reminder, Trump has declared victory, but has not yet reached the required number of Electoral College votes. He is currently four short.

He adds that he will run his administration under the motto: “Promises made, promises kept.”

Trump congratulates JD Vance

Republicans have not yet been announced as the winners of this election, but they are only four electoral votes away from doing so.

Vance calls Trump's victory “the greatest political comeback in history”

Trump: “We will help our country heal.”

In his election night appearance he promises to fix the borders and adds that he and his party made history for a reason. It is clear that the Republican candidate is using this as a victory speech.

The Democratic Party has only won 3 of the 14 districts that make up North Carolina, pending confirmation of the result in District 1, the tightest in the polls. This fact has caused the 16 electoral votes of North Carolina to go to the Republican Party's candidacy.

The Democrats have won in District 2 (Deborah Ross), District 4 (Valerie Foushee) and District 12 (Alma Adams).

North Carolina goes to Trump

Donald Trump will pick up the 16 electoral college as he secures a vital victory in this key state.

Trump currently sitting on 51.9% with almost half the votes counted in North Carolina and NBC analysis suggests the trends are possibly favoring him taking the state having lost it to Biden in 2020.

In addition to the closely watched presidential race, many are watching the state's gubernatorial race. The Democratic Attorney General of the state, Josh Stein, is taking on the Republican. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. 

Robinson found his campaign in a crisis just a few weeks ago as sexual and offensive comments made by the candidate were uncovered on pornographic forums. With just two percent of the vote reported, AG Stein has received over 70 percent of the votes counted so far.

A close race between Harris and Trump in North Carolina

In the 2024 U.S. presidential election, anything could happen in North Carolina. Currently, Donald Trump has secured votes in small towns and rural areas, which could provide a significant advantage and potentially secure a win in this state. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has substantial support in larger cities, benefiting from a history of Democratic preference. However, the “undecided” vote might disrupt this trend, as reflected in major polls.

Counties in North Carolina that tend to vote democratic

Mecklenburg: more than 59,852 votes
Durham: more than 19,329 votes

Importance of climate change and environment in the U.S.
