Josh Stein Wins North Carolina Governor's Race Over Mark Robinson

Democrat Josh Stein has been elected as North Carolina's governor, defeating Republican Mark Robinson in a race marked by Robinson's controversial remarks and extreme rhetoric. Stein, the state's first Jewish governor, focused his campaign on his record as attorney general and opposition to Robinson's divisive comments. Robinson, who faced backlash and loss of support from Republican leaders, was linked to inflammatory statements and an online persona, which he denied. Despite North Carolina's conservative leanings, Robinson's campaign failed to gain traction, resulting in a significant loss.
