US election 2024 results: Trump wins Georgia and North Carolina as Harris’ path to victory narrows
The chances of Kamala Harris securing the White House have narrowed significantly as Donald Trump is projected to win North Carolina and Georgia, two of seven crucial battleground states.
The vice president’s best chance is now in the “blue wall” states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Counting also continues in Arizona and Nevada, possibly offering other paths to 270 Electoral College votes.
At the Harris watch party, campaign senior adviser Cedric Richmond said the vice president would not speak tonight but would address supporters tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in Palm Beach, there are scenes of jubilation from Trump supporters as they await remarks from the Republican nominee.
The economy and the state of US democracy are among the top issues cited by voters in NBC News’s exit poll, according to the preliminary results.
Thirty-five percent said democracy was their top issue while slightly fewer, 31 percent, said the economy. Abortion was the top issue for 14 percent of voters while 11 percent said immigration. Four percent said foreign policy was most important to them.
