Former President Donald Trump is projected to win North Carolina, the first swing state called on election night, according to The Associated Press. 

Trump won 50.8 percent of the vote against Vice President Kamala Harris’ 48 percent as of 11:30 p.m., the AP reported. At the time of publication, 92 percent of the votes were in.

North Carolina has been seen as a “toss-up” state since Harris first entered the race, according to Newsweek. But election night results soon began to indicate a Trump victory.

Trump won Anson County, North Carolina, which has voted Democrat in every presidential race at least since Richard Nixon — and before that, likely since Reconstruction, according to WFAE. Its population is nearly 50 percent black, a demographic group that typically leans Democrat. But Trump won the county with nearly 51 percent of the vote.

Trump also won North Carolina in 2016 and 2020, Newsweek reported.
