Republican Gov. Pat McCrory announced Monday that hes conceded the election to Democrat Roy Cooper, the states attorney general, and will support transition efforts.
McCrory made the concession in a video message posted around noon Monday as a recount he requested in Durham County entered its final hours. Durham officials plan to finish the recount later Monday, but early results from the recount showed virtually no change in the vote tally there.
