CNN —Democratic state Attorney General Josh Stein will win North Carolina’s gubernatorial race, CNN projects, defeating Republican Lt. Gov.
Stein, who is currently serving his second term as attorney general, will become the state’s first Jewish governor.
Though Democrats predicted a competitive race in the state, Robinson’s history of inflammatory comments ultimately doomed his campaign.
Ahead of and after the story’s release, Robinson rejected calls from Republicans to drop out of the race.
Born in Washington, DC, Stein’s family relocated to North Carolina when he was young.
