Black voters and late deciders powered Biden's North Carolina showing

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s projected victory in North Carolina came from voters who decided in the last few days, black voters, and those who prefer a candidate who can beat President Trump in November.

According to early exit polls, around 3 in 10 Democratic voters in North Carolina decided who to vote in the last few days. Almost 3 in 5 of those voters supported Biden -- suggesting that the departures of former South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar following South Carolina's primary helped consolidate voters behind the former vice president.

As in other states, black voters voted for Biden in strong numbers in North Carolina, around 6 in 10.
