US Election 2024 : Donald Trump wins North Carolina
Former President Donald Trump won the battleground state of North Carolina on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press at 9:50 a.m. Trump wins the state’s 16 electoral votes, defeating Democratic contender Kamala Harris.
When the AP pronounced Trump the winner, he was ahead by more than 130,000 votes, with about 90% of the predicted votes cast. Compared to the 2020 election, voter turnout was higher in many places where Trump won, but lower in many areas where Harris won. In North Carolina in 2020, Trump defeated Biden by fewer than two percentage points.

Trump also won the state in 2016 and 2020, but Democrats had hoped to reverse earlier results through campaign expenditure, canvassing, and Harris rallies.
They also sought to link Trump to Mark Robinson, the struggling Republican governor candidate. But Trump and running mate JD Vance paid many visits to North Carolina throughout the fall campaign, supporting a more protectionist economic policy and promising to crack down on illegal immigration and the southern border.
US Election 2024 : 270, the magical number
What is all the fuss about 270? It’s not about the 270 whales that became stranded on Australia’s island state of Tasmania this fall. It’s not about congestion on Interstate 270, which feeds commuters into Washington, It’s about who will be in the White House for the next four years. Hillary Clinton received about 2.9 million additional votes in the 2016 presidential election, yet she lost.
Donald Trump won the 2016 elections by using the Electoral College, a system established in the United States Constitution and perfected throughout time. This is when the magical number comes into play. To be elected President, a candidate must receive at least 270 electoral votes.
US Election 2024: With only 40 electoral votes needed, Donald Trump is closer to recovering the presidency. Despite Hillary Clinton’s 2.9 million popular vote lead in the 2016 election, Trump won thanks to the Electoral College. According to the US Constitution, a candidate must receive a minimum of 270 electoral votes to be elected President, which accounts for the majority of the 538 available throughout the 50 states.
That accounts for the vast bulk of the 538 positions up for grabs across the 50 states.
