The Pink Words: Updated at 12:05 AM EST, Wed November 6, 2024
As the 2024 U.S. presidential race heats up, key battleground states are still in play, with crucial votes yet to be counted. CNN has projected that former President Donald Trump will win North Carolina, a state that holds significant weight in his path to a potential return to the White House. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris is looking to hold her ground and secure victories in other pivotal states as vote counts continue to roll in.
Key Developments:
- Trump’s Victory in North Carolina: CNN projects that Donald Trump will win North Carolina, a critical swing state that boosts his chances of regaining the presidency. While this win is significant, the overall race remains tight, with several other battleground states too close to call at this hour.
- Tight Races in Other Battleground States: States like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nevada are still too early to call. These states are essential to both Trump’s and Harris’ paths to victory, with each candidate needing at least 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
- California and Idaho Results: Earlier in the night, CNN projected Harris would win California, which holds the largest share of electoral votes, while Trump secured Idaho—another state he won in 2020. Both states are important stepping stones in this heated race.
Current Electoral Vote Count:
- Harris: 230 electoral votes
- Trump: 182 electoral votes
- 270 needed to win
As the night progresses, both candidates are watching closely as the remaining votes in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada could make or break their chances of winning the presidency. Stay tuned for live coverage and expert analysis as the results continue to come in.
Latest Updates:
- Virginia: CNN has projected that Vice President Kamala Harris will win Virginia, securing 13 more electoral votes for her ticket. In 2020, President Joe Biden won Virginia in the general election, and it appears Harris will hold onto the state in this cycle as well.
With the election too close to call in many critical areas, the coming hours are expected to bring major shifts as more results are tallied.
