North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a former state legislator who was first elected statewide in 2016, is the first Democratic candidate to launch a bid for the battleground state. | Hannah Schoenbaum/AP PhotoNorth Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein announced his bid for governor on Wednesday, kicking off what could be one of the biggest and most expensive governor’s races of 2024.
“Some politicians want to tell you who you should hate, when you’ll be pregnant, and who you can marry,” Stein says in the video, cut over clips of Robinson making anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ comments. “I believe in a different North Carolina — and that the fights we choose determine what kind of state we’ll become.”
For Democrats, North Carolina presents a mixed picture: They haven’t won the state in a presidential election or a Senate race since 2008. But in 2016, Cooper, the former attorney general, unseated Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, making him the first sitting governor to lose reelection in the state’s history — the same year that President Donald Trump also won the state. Stein, a former state legislator, also won his first attorney general bid that year.
