DDHQ has called North Carolina and its 16 electoral college votes for Donald Trump. This is the first major swing state call of the night. 

• AP has called two electoral college-heavy states for Republican candidate Donald Trump in the form of Texas (40) and Ohio (17). These calls are not surprises, with both states being viewed as solidly Republican ahead of the election.
• NYT's presidential forecast 'needle' has for the first time in the night moved out of the 'tossup' category, with the election now seen as 'leaning Trump' with a 66% chance of victory according to the Times.
