The Associated Press calls North Carolina for Republican candidate Donald Trump, marking a first win in a key battleground state for either candidate.
Electoral vote tallies show Kamala Harris moving closer to Trump after she is widely projected to win California, Oregon and Washington, but she still appears to be trailing in key battleground states that have yet to be called.
Trump continues to lead in Georgia, and Pennsylvania, and is also ahead in Michigan, Wisconsin and even Minnesota, three states much further behind in counting ballots. He also has a tiny lead in Arizona.
Polls have now been closed everywhere but Alaska and Hawaii.

At a party for Harris at Howard University in Washington, D.C., the mood is decidedly subdued, according to people there. Attendees of a Florida party for Trump, meanwhile, are jubilant as the former president appears to move closer to retaking the White House.
Analysts caution that many votes are yet to be counted and that it could take days for a final picture to become clear.
