On Super Tuesday, North Carolina voters took to the polls to select their preferred candidates for the November general elections, with key races on the line including governor, U.S. House, and the presidential nominations.
Here are the official results from the NC State Board of Elections:
President Joe Biden stood as the sole candidate on the Democratic primary ballot, along with the choice to select “No preference” as an alternative.
The Republican ballot saw former President Donald Trump and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley as the only significant contenders.
In the Libertarian presidential primary, No Preference finished just shy of the majority with 40.42% of the total vote, followed by Chase Oliver and TrimeTavaler.
Many eyes were also on the gubernatorial primaries where our current Democratic attorney general, Josh Stein, and the Republican lieutenant governor, Mark Robinson, emerged victorious, teeing up a high-stakes showdown for the governor’s mansion this November.
This Super Tuesday outcome not only reflects the political dynamics within North Carolina but also underscores the state’s critical role in the broader national political landscape as we move closer to the November elections.
