RALEIGH, N.C. - President Donald Trump was projected as the winner of the battleground state of North Carolina by the Associated Press and FOX News Friday after a days-long delay in ballot tabulation.
The projected win adds 15 electoral votes to Trump’s total, but will not affect the outcome of the election overall, since President-elect Joe Biden was projected days ago to exceed the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency.Trump’s victory in North Carolina brings him to 232 electoral votes.
