What's interesting to me about North Carolina this year is that Democrats appear to have performed fairly well in the statewide offices this year. According to the AP, Democrat Jeff Jackson is projected to win the attorney general race against Republican Dan Bishop, and Democrats are currently leading in the secretary of state race, the lieutenant governor's race and the race for superintendent of public instruction. They, of course, were projected to clinched the governor's race earlier tonight, according to the AP. There's a few other statewide races where Republicans lead as well, but North Carolina appears to continue to be a state where voters are very willing to split their tickets, depending on the candidates on the ballot.

ABC News has projected that Democratic Rep. Chris Deluzio will win reelection in Pennsylvania's 17th District, which takes in much of the turf around Pittsburgh. The blue-leaning seat will remain in the Democratic column, but Republicans might have a chance of flipping two eastern Pennsylvania seats, the 7th and 8th, which we are keeping a close eye on.

Iowa’s 1st Congressional District, currently represented by Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks, is rated as a toss-up in our forecast, but Miller-Meeks has had an edge throughout the campaign.

However, things appear to be coming down to the wire: with 90 percent of the expected vote reporting, Miller-Meeks is behind by two points, 49-51, to challenger Christina Bohannan, a former state representative who also ran against Miller-Meeks in 2022. Notably, Bohannan is running ahead of Harris in every single county in the district, and there’s very little vote outstanding in the counties that have reported so far. The bright spot for Miller-Meeks: Two Republican-leaning counties, Jasper and Washington, have yet to report any votes, and those two counties could net her just enough to make up the gap.

This has obviously been a rough night for Democrats so far, with a Sherrod Brown loss in Ohio and Senate hopes dashed in Texas and Florida. But the real contest for the presidency is just beginning, with one competitive state -- North Carolina -- projected for Trump, and the rest still being counted. Expectations that this would be a close race seem likely to be fulfilled, though it's possible that this will be the red wave that was anticipated in 2022.
