The Fox News Decision Desk projects Democratic North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein to win the state's gubernatorial election against Republican Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson. The high-stakes election pitted the progressive candidate, Stein, who was backed by term-limited Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper to fill his current seat, and Robinson, whose meteoric political career launched in 2018 after an impassioned speech about the Second Amendment in a viral video. The Robinson campaign was rocked by scandal weeks ago when a local news outlet reported on Sept. 3 that Robinson allegedly routinely visited porn shops, viewing materials in a private booth, according to former employees…

Abortion on the ballot has been seen as a sticking point for Republicans since the overturning of Roe V Wade, but a major amendment in Florida failed after voters voted "No" on the progressive legislation. The measure needed a 60 percent supermajority to pass, the highest threshold in the country. It failed after 43% voted "No" and 57% voted "Yes." Florida's abortion ban has been a contentious topic in the once-swing-state, with proponents of the amendment arguing that the Sunshine State's current 6-week abortion ban is too restrictive after it was implemented in May. The amendment's language states, "No law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before via…
