The atmosphere during Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is sure to turn somber as two key battleground states move further out of her reach.

Shortly before 11:30 PM ET, the Associated Press predicted that North Carolina would go to former President Donald Trump, marking a major victory for the Republican presidential candidate. CNN, NBC News and Fox News also called the race.

Without the Tar Heel State, Trump would have had to take Pennsylvania to win the White House.

The news also comes as Trump leads Harris in Georgia by about 136,000 votes. An estimated 91 percent of the state’s votes have been counted. Brad Raffensperger, the Republican secretary of state from the state who famously denied Trump the 11,700 votes he needed to overturn the 2020 election in the Peach State, said just before 11 p.m. ET that he predicts Georgia will be ahead the former president will choose.

“If you look at who is leading the race right now, Donald J. Trump has an insurmountable lead, given the number of votes left to win,” Raffensperger told reporters. “Looks like this is done.”

Shortly after 12:30 PM ET, both CNN and NBC News called the race in Georgia for Trump.

North Carolina and Georgia each have sixteen electoral votes up for grabs.

Does Harris have a chance to win?

No.

Fox News called Pennsylvania for Trump just before 1:30 a.m. ET, depriving Harris of the presidency. Although this still leaves him three electoral votes short, Harris cannot win without the Keystone State. He will also likely win Alaska by a landslide, giving him exactly three electoral votes, bringing him to 270.

Trump could also take the remaining battleground states: Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada.

Trump is up 262,000 votes in Michigan, with an estimated 73 percent of votes reported, up 119,000 votes in Wisconsin, with an estimated 92 percent of votes reported, and up 47,000 votes in Nevada, with an estimated 74 percent of votes reported. to vote. the mood.

Harris did not address her supporters at Howard University, where her campaign held a watch party Tuesday night. Her campaign co-chair said she would speak tomorrow and asked the crowd to head for the exit. Harris’ supporters were seen crying as they left the party, one that had grown somber as results poured in.

In Palm Beach, Florida, Trump prepared to speak to his own campaign party and supporters at a large convention center. The atmosphere was very different from that in Washington, DC, where the festivities were already underway.
