The 2024 North Carolina gubernatorial election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Governor of North Carolina, concurrently with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as elections to the United States Senate, elections to the United States House of Representatives, and various other state and local elections. Incumbent Democratic Governor Roy Cooper is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third consecutive term in office. This is the only Democratic-held governorship up for election in 2024 in a state Donald Trump won in 2020.

Background [ edit ]

A typical swing state, North Carolina is considered to be a purple to slightly red state at the federal level, but has both of its U.S. senators belonging to the Republican Party. However, some state-wide offices are held by Democrats including the governorship, secretary of state, and attorney general. In the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump carried North Carolina by just 1.3 percentage points.[1][2]

The incumbent, Roy Cooper, was first elected in 2016, defeating then-incumbent Pat McCrory by 0.2 points. Cooper was re-elected in 2020 by 4.5 points.[2][3]

The 2024 election is expected to be very competitive, as North Carolina is a purple to slightly red state and this election is taking place in a presidential year, and the incumbent is term-limited making this seat open. The only Democrat that has declared their candidacy is Josh Stein, the current Attorney General. Two Republicans have declared their candidacy; Mark Robinson, the current Lieutenant Governor, and Dale Folwell, the current State Treasurer.[4]
