Donald Trump scored his first major victory in the race for the White House, winning the key state of North Carolina, NBC and ABC television reported.
Republicans swept the state in 2016 and 2020, but this year the race is hotly contested and rival Kamala Harris is giving him a big push.
The former president received an additional 16 electoral votes thanks to his victory in this state on the east coast of the United States.
