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.

Quincy Jones, a maestro of American music and a titan of the entertainment industry who influenced nearly every popular genre, produced landmark albums and earned a record 80 Grammy Award nominations, has died, his publicist said. Jones "passed away peacefully" Sunday night at his home in Bel Air while surrounded by his family, his publicist Arnold Robinson said. "Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing. And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him," his family said in a statement. In a prolific career that spanned more than 70 years, Jones established himself as a behind-the-scenes force and a gifted artist in his own right, working as an arranger, composer, songwriter and performer.
