Dramatic Showdown: The Battle for North Carolina’s Governorship

This November, on the same ballot as the presidential race, North Carolina voters will also be choosing a new governor. Uh, the guy on the left here is the democratic nominee. His name is Josh Stein. The guy on the right side of your screen is who the Republicans picked. His name is Mark Robinson. You know the movie Black Panther? Uh, the Republican candidate for governor, Mark Robinson, says that movie was, quote, created by an agnostic Jew and put to film by a satanic Marxist. Really? He says the music industry is run by Satan and by the Illuminati. He calls gay people filth and maggots. He says kids who survive school gun massacres are, quote, media prostitutes and spoiled little bastards who need to, quote, shut up. And so with that record, survey says, even in a closely fought swing state like North Carolina, North Carolina does not want that guy. Uh, the Republican candidate for governor in North Carolina is currently polling 14 points behind his democratic opponent, Josh Stein. Democrats are not only hoping to beat Mark Robinson very badly, they’re hoping he will be such a drag on Republicans up and down the ticket that it will give Kamala Harris and every other Democrat on the North Carolina ballot a considerable boost.
