Election Results: Nathan Hochman beats George Gascón in L.A. District Attorney race

Former federal prosecutor Nathan Hochman has defeated incumbent George Gascón in the race to become the next Los Angeles County District Attorney. Gascón’s progressive policies got him elected into office in 2020, but have since made him the target of critics who accuse him of being too soft on crime.

Why AP called North Carolina for Trump

Republican voters in North Carolina cast ballots in greater numbers than four years ago, while Democratic turnout sagged. Together, those two factors carried Donald Trump to victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, marking the third time he has carried the swing state.

This year Trump held a 2.8 percentage point lead when The Associated Press called the race for him at 11:18 p.m. ET once it became clear that there weren't enough outstanding votes lef
