North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein is projected to defeat embattled Republican Mark Robinson in the governor's race.
Washington — Josh Stein, the North Carolina attorney general, will defeat Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson in the state's gubernatorial race, CBS News projects. Stein, a Democrat, is set to become the first Jewish governor in the state's history, and previously served in the state Senate before becoming attorney general. His projected victory comes as his opponent was roiled in scandal, with a slew of inflammatory comments unearthed on a number of topics since the campaign began.
Then, in September, a CNN investigation shook the gubernatorial race, tying Robinson to a slew of incendiary, explicit and racist comments on a pornographic website more than a decade ago. Robinson denied the CNN report, while insisting that he wouldn't drop out of the race. Robinson, who would have been the first Black governor of North Carolina, was endorsed by former President Donald Trump ahead of the primary, who called him 'Martin Luther King on steroids.
