Former President Donald J. Trump retained his grip on North Carolina, winning the state in all three of his presidential campaigns despite its growing diversity and changing demographics.
Despite investments from Vice President Kamala Harris and hopes of high turnout in urban areas, Trump leveraged rural support and a strong GOP field operation to secure victory.
North Carolina remains the most rural of the swing states, with a significant portion of voters in rural areas that tend to lean Republican.
Concerns about the Republican nominee for governor, Mark Robinson, and Trump's controversial statements about disaster relief did not hinder his support among North Carolina's GOP base.
