"2024 North Carolina Governor's Race: Expensive, Key, and Tightly Contested"

The race for governor in North Carolina is closely watched and expected to be tight, featuring two sharply contrasting candidates: the Democratic attorney general, Josh Stein, and the Republican lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson. The race is significant as it could impact turnout in the state's presidential election, with both candidates planning to portray each other in politically extreme terms. If elected, Robinson would be the first Black governor of North Carolina, while Stein would be the state's first Jewish governor.
