Trump, Harris Locked in Tight Race in North Carolina, Poll Shows

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are neck-and-neck in North Carolina, with a mere two-point gap between them, according to a new poll from The Washington Post.

The survey indicates that Trump holds 50% support among likely voters, while Harris is backed by 48%. This slim difference falls within the poll’s margin of error, suggesting a highly competitive race in a state considered pivotal for the upcoming election.
