Josh Stein Elected Governor of North Carolina

News summary

Democrat Josh Stein has won the North Carolina governorship, defeating Republican Mark Robinson by a significant margin of 58% to 38%. Stein's victory was bolstered by Robinson's controversial past, including inflammatory comments made on a pornographic forum where he identified as a 'black Nazi' and made derogatory remarks about various groups. Robinson's campaign suffered after a CNN investigation linked him to these comments, leading to a mass exodus of his campaign staff. Despite previously being a frontrunner, Robinson's scandals turned voters against him, with many viewing the race as a choice between decency and extremism. Robinson has announced plans to sue CNN for defamation, claiming the report was a 'high-tech lynching' aimed at destroying his political career. Stein's win marks a significant moment for North Carolina, a state that had been considered a battleground in recent elections.
