The race pits Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson against Democratic Attorney General Josh Stein, as they vie to succeed the Democratic term-limited governor, Roy Cooper.

Some Mark Robinson gems:
-He’s wildly anti-abortion, with zero exceptions for rape/incest, or medical necessity. But he paid for his wife’s abortion in 1989
-He referred to LGBTQIA+ people as “filth” that “makes him sick”
-He’s antisemitic
-He says Black people “owe” for slavery https://t.co/RA8XUTSzxD pic.twitter.com/AMsEWPVFdm— 𝕀𝕞𝕡𝕠𝕤𝕤𝕚𝕓𝕝𝕪 𝔹𝕠𝕤𝕤𝕪 (@ImpossiblyBossy) January 22, 2024
