Trump and Harris in tight race for North Carolina's electoral votes
Polls in North Carolina show a tight race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump for the state's 16 electoral votes. Two recent surveys give Trump a slight edge, while a third shows Harris leading by one point. Harris aims to be the second Democrat to win North Carolina since 1980, following Barack Obama in 2008. The state's shifting demographics, particularly in the Raleigh-Durham area, have contributed to a more competitive landscape for Democrats. Despite the close race, Republicans maintain a supermajority in the state legislature, allowing them to override vetoes from Democratic Governor Roy Cooper. The outcome in North Carolina could significantly impact the overall election.
