AP has called North Carolina for Trump, dashing Democrats hopes of turning the Republican-leaning state blue.
The state has 16 electoral votes and has only gone to Democrats twice since 1968: In 1976 and 2008.
Still, Democratic shifts within the state, and its large, politically engaged Black population, had strategists believe it could be ripe for the taking.
The victory for Trump means only six swing states remain: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona. Pennsylvania is considered the most significant, and the key to any path to victory for Harris.
Al Jazeera’s Phil Lavelle reports from Raleigh, the state capital.
