North Carolina had been projected as the state with the most closely watched race for governor this fall. But advantages late in the race appear to favor Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein over Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson. Stein's campaign has overwhelmed Robinson in fundraising, including a massive $44.

North Carolina Republican gubernatorial nominee and Lt. Gov.
In the campaign’s final days, advantages appeared to favor another Democrat to succeed term-limited Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper. The lawsuit is pending, but the report had immediate repercussions. Robinson’s top campaign staff quit. The Republican Governors Association pulled the plug on television advertising for Robinson. His campaign is no longer running commercials and is focusing on social media and events in small towns and rural areas, like Ellerbe, where GOP turnout is high.
“We are working hard, our heads down. We’re running hard through the finish line,” Stein told reporters after meeting Democratic Party volunteers on Tuesday in Smithfield, 30 miles southeast of Raleigh. “It’s about trying to talk to as many voters as we can about the clarity of the choice between our positive, hopeful, optimistic vision and divisive, angry and hateful vision.”
