Summary

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein (D) has won the governor’s race, defeating Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson ®, known for his inflammatory statements.

Although the race appeared close in early polling, Stein gained a significant lead, ultimately winning by a wide margin. Robinson’s campaign suffered after a CNN report in September alleged he made controversial comments on a pornography website years ago, including derogatory remarks about race and gender.

Robinson denied the claims, but his poll numbers fell as Republicans distanced themselves from his candidacy.

      Robinson was polling well below Trump, so I don’t think this says much. It was able to be called this early because he was doing badly and expected to lose.

      In NC? It’s a solidly red state with a rare hiccup (see: governor and that one time for Obama). It bodes well for us not having to deal with that asshole, but that’s about it.
