Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (Republican) and Attorney General Josh Stein (Democrat) will compete for North Carolina’s next Governor in November.

 Locally, Allen Joines will continue as Winston-Salem Mayor after a win on Tuesday.  Joines is running unopposed in November.

Some North Carolina races from Tuesday are heading toward a Run-off (May 14).  District 6: GOP candidates Mark Walker and Addison McDowell will likely be a run-off.  The Republican lieutenant governor’s race is a run-off

BTW: Candidates must win more than 30% of votes in their race to secure their party’s nomination for the general election. That means 30% of the total vote count plus one. In North Carolina, a runoff only occurs if the second-place finisher calls for one. www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/

Rematch in November? Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump gained wins across more than a dozen voting states on Tuesday. Note: Nikki Haley has suspended her GOP Presidential bid this morning.
