Trump and Harris in tight race for North Carolina's electoral votes

forbes.com

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 indicate Trump has a slight edge, while Harris leads in two others. 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 presidential race, Republicans maintain a supermajority in the state legislature, allowing them to override vetoes from Democratic Governor Roy Cooper. The outcome of the gubernatorial race may not significantly impact Trump's standing in the presidential contest.
