Much of the media focus as far as North Carolina races go has been on the presidential match-up between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as the gubernatorial race between Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson (R) and state Attorney General Josh Stein (D).
But another one has heated up in recent weeks thanks in part to a defamation lawsuit recently filed by the Republican candidate and a troubling 2022 video of the Democrat candidate that surfaced on social media this week.
Because Stein is running for governor, the attorney general’s office is up for grabs. Rep. Dan Bishop is the Republican nominee in that race, while Rep. Jeff Jackson is the Democrat nominee. Both previously served in the North Carolina state legislature, with Bishop having served in both the state house and Senate at various points, and Jackson serving in the state Senate.
