The vast Atlantic Ocean separates the Americas from Africa and continental Europe. What U.S. state is the closest point to Africa?

Given the tilt of the Earth's axis, Florida seems to be the closest state to Africa. However, this is not the case. Maine is, in reality, the closest point to Africa. The distance from Quoddy Head, Maine, to El Beddouza, Morocco, is about 5,076 kilometers or 3,153 miles.
