From Fox News: Republicans have officially surpassed Democrats in North Carolina voter registration for the first time in the state’s history, marking a dramatic political shift in one of the nation’s most closely watched battleground states and a development Republicans tell Fox News Digital shows the effectiveness of the Trump agenda.
Over the weekend, North Carolina State Board of Elections data showed registered Republicans now slightly outnumber registered Democrats statewide. As of early January, the state reports approximately 2.315 million registered Republicans compared to 2.313 million registered Democrats, giving the GOP a narrow but historic edge.
“Republicans are crushing Democrats’ voter registration advantage in North Carolina and taking control statewide thanks to Michael Whatley’s leadership,” RNC Chairman Joe Gruters exclusively told Fox News Digital.
“President Trump’s America First agenda is winning. Democrats are failing, their out-of-touch liberal agenda is being rejected, and voters are done with Roy Cooper and Josh Stein.”
The North Carolina GOP announced early Saturday:
Good morning from the RED STATE of North Carolina!
Republicans 2,315,067
D*mocrats 2,312,990
Gruters then added: “Fantastic news from the @NCGOP! For the first time in history, Republican voter registration has surpassed Democrats in North Carolina! Keep up the momentum and on to victory in 2026!”
