Josh Stein's victory marks a significant moment for North Carolina, as he becomes the state's first Jewish governor, succeeding two-term Democrat Roy Cooper.
The race took a dramatic turn when Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's campaign faltered after reports of his controversial online posts, which included pro-slavery and pro-Nazi sentiments.
Despite being endorsed by former President Trump, Robinson has denied the authenticity of the posts in question and is pursuing legal action against CNN for defamation.
Stein has been serving as North Carolina's attorney general for six years and previously held a position in the state Senate.
