Anecdotal, but one of my coworkers is a big Trump guy but told me "I had to vote for Stein because that Robinson guy was just too crazy."

Meanwhile, my father was fully aware and informed of Robinson's and Morrow's words and actions and still voted for them because, according to him, "I voted for policies rather than people." I asked him if that made him feel better voting for a Nazi, and he said, "well, he's not going to actually win." Very frustrating.

I’ve been telling you guys for months that was going to be my ticket, and that I’m typically right down the middle for where the average North Carolina voter is. People just didn’t want to hear it. I voted for every one of those people you named above.

I don’t think they voted for Trump. They simply did NOT vote for Harris.

I think it is the opposite. The red wave that polls were calling in 2022 that didn’t materialize? It happened on the national level in 2024. The difference was Trump at the top of the ticket.

Thankfully, unless elections are ended, he'll never be on the ticket again
 
Was disappointed to go to bed with Riggs up 20k votes and wake up to her down 10k votes. I thought she would keep that margin. Another statewide supreme court race decided by a razor thin margin. Soon we're going to have a unanimously conservative state supreme court despite clearly having an electorate that is split 50/50. Just like we have state house and senate supermajorities for Republicans despite that same 50/50 split. I'm not sure how sustainable it is long term to have a state government so out of step with the population. The good news is that, at least with the supreme court, majorities can be reversed very quickly. I dunno with the state legislature, it's so gerrymandered that candidly Dems may never win it again.
 
If I am reading the results correctly and drawing the correct inferences about those results, then had the Republicans not nominated someone for governor who repeatedly espoused horrific beliefs, such as supporting slavery and proclaiming himself to be a Nazi, the GOP would have swept every statewide race in NC. Apparently in today's GOP, it's OK to actually believe slavery and Nazis were good as long as you don't proclaim those beliefs in so open of a fashion. This not the North Carolina I grew up in. Even I. Beverly Lake, Sr. didn't openly support slavery or proclaim himself a Nazi.

So the question is: how far ahead of the election cycle were Mark Robinson's beliefs? One cycle? Maybe two?

So looking ahead, who do we have running for US Senate in NC. Cooper in 2026? Jackson in 2028? My guess is Stein runs for a second term as governor rather than seeking a US Senate bid.

Of course Cooper is no spring chicken. But he would likely have a good shot of winning in 2026.

If Coop wants it I assume he would at least automatically get the Dem nomination Age is not on his side however-and I would hope he just "enjoys his life"

Yes
69 ain't so bad and as far as I am concerned he already has the nomination wrapped up-if wants it

Agreed. At this point, I think Cooper and Jackson are the only viable candidates, and I do think we need Jeff to wait for 2028. I agree that Josh Stein will probably run for governor.

I’m still irritated that Jeff was asked to step aside to make room for Cheryl Beasley in the last senate race. And I say that as a black woman. We cannot lose focus again.

If Jackson runs for the Senate in 2026, and he resigns the AG office if he wins, the Governor names his replacement. The replacement is in office until the next General Election for the Legislature - 2028.

If Josh Stein names the right person to the AG office, we might hold it.

A night where the Dems won almost all the key statewide races (including the governor's mansion by like 20 points) is a weird night to conclude that North Carolina is bad and supports GOP candidates who believe in slavery and love the Nazis.
