Donald Trump has been projected to win two critical battleground states—North Carolina and Georgia—enhancing his chances in the fiercely contested presidential race against Vice President Kamala Harris. With polls now closed nationwide, the outcome remains undecided in five other swing states, all of which are expected to play a pivotal role in determining the final result.

In North Carolina, Trump is aiming to hold onto a state he won in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. His campaign was focused on maintaining the state’s support, which has proven to be a key stronghold for Republicans in recent elections. His party won in the state of North Carolina.

Meanwhile, Trump’s victory in Georgia represents a major comeback effort. After losing the state to Joe Biden in 2020, the former president had hoped to flip Georgia back into his column in this race. If the projections hold, this win could significantly boost his path to securing the necessary Electoral College votes needed for a second term.

As the results continue to pour in from the remaining contested states, both candidates remain on edge, knowing that every vote counts. With North Carolina and Georgia secured for Trump, the focus now shifts to the other undecided states, where every district and county could tip the balance in this high-stakes race for the White House.
